Any way to emulate scroll button?

The one thing I really miss from my old Toshiba is the scroll wheel on the side.
I had thought I could reprogram the WiFi and the Record buttons to be scroll up and scroll down but it's not really the same.
In Word, for example, my old scroll wheel would move a page at a time but by programming my buttons to "Up" and "Down", the cursor moves only one line at a time.

Can anyone recommend a program that will do what I'm looking for?

Thanks

Here's the program you are looking for:

Just install, then Start -> Settings -> Buttons

Map your Wifi button to PHM Keys - Page Up and Record button to PHM Keys - Page Down.

Or whatever combitination you want!

Thanks.
So far I've also found this one:

Kinda neat in that you can program one button to do both Page-Up and Page-Down.
It's not free though.

you know what I would like.. if the page up / page down buttons were a lil smoother.. less lines scrolled so it was less of a major change in page. Kinda like when you tap the screen scroll bars.

When you remap the buttons they no longer perform their original functions.

It would be all apps, unless the individual software overrides it.

You can always map Wifi to another button.

BTW, I only use those examples because that's what gjw wanted in his first post!

Do you NEED a hardware button for WiFi?
Why not just turn it on/off from the screen icon?
