Yes, I am using VirtualBox to run WindowsXP in... but Mint13 is host. Thanks for the advice: I'll go have a look at that mouse setting thing. I SO am still learning about Linux... and have been with it since Edgy-Eft (Ubuntu).

...not sure but it sounds like you are using the old Visual Designer. It has been superseded with Polo's form designer for PB5. Try this:

Thank you, IdeasVacuum: I'll watch the tutorial and see if I can't get my head around it. To be honest, it might be worth my while to just use the Windows version in VirtualBox for a while until I get the main ideas nailed down before attempting the Linux version.
I do LIKE VirtualBox: yes, you can have it all...

I suggest you do that, the Form Designer shipped with PB Linux happens to be an early version, whilst on Windows and Mac it's the last one. Next PB version will correct that
