[PEDA] Mouse Scroll Wheel in Protel 99SE/Dual Screens

[ajenkins@avtron.com]

The problem you guys are discussing was evident in P98 as well. We all
know Protel isn't the stiffest piece of software, so it shouldn't be too
surprising to anyone, at anyone who's used it as long as many of us here
in the PEDA group.
