How do you get dosemu not to copy/paste with the mouse button. I have an application that reads the keyboard expecting such entries as function keys and user entries. If I accidentaly hit the center mouse button it sends whatever is in the copy/paste buffer to this program completely freaking it out and causing un-intentional actions to occur. Is there a a way to comfigure dosemu mouse to act like it did in MSDOS? The program does need the mouse and can interpet the outside buttons correctly but god help you if you hit the center button.
