Using a different web search string found this page:
<https://oliversmith.io/technology/2016/01/03/Enabling-middle-click-for-kensington-trackball-on-ubuntu-linux/>

I added the xinput command string in ~/.profile and ... it works on
Slackware, too. :-)

Now I have it in ~/ where it will not be overwritten by upgrades to the
system.

Thanks all for offering suggestions.

Rich
