That's it . I'm working with handicaped people and most of them can not 
use their  hand or clic to manipulate softwares  .We  have some tracking 
devices ( midi ,polhemus , webcam ,.. ) that we want to use to drive 
other software .

So , ...I ' m not a dev , and don't know pd so mutch , but do you think 
it ' ll be complex to write such object ?
My only other solution is to midi control out a device that i plug onto 
a real mouse wheel  ...°-(  Heavy !
