Is there a way to use that nifty scroll thing on mice in QB? An interrupt or inp or something?

You fire the same interupt, but ax has to equal some value (I think. I'm prestty sure about the same interupt though.)
Don't think so

I note that in Windows that contain NOTEPAD, Word, IE, etc., the mouse wheel button works to do automatic scrolling.
BUT in Windows running under CMD or Command such as QBasic and Edit, it doesn't work.
My conclusion: there is no way you can get QBasic or any other program running in DOS to recognize the mouse wheel. It is an invention that came after all work on DOS was completed.

Uhhh...You could write it in a running QB program with scrolling and save it to another file; this is the only loop hole I know.
