How do you guys zoom in/out and rotate the camera in game? The manual says page up/down or wheel to zoom in/out, but for me it's just changing the vertical angle of the camera. And I certainly don't have an "insert" key for rotating the camera?

Any hint? Thanks.

Pretty simple, just hold the little "fn" key and press one of the four arrows. Left rotates left, page up zooms, etc...

That's odd - that's exactly what I did. I hold fn with one of the 4 arrow keys (down to the lower-right corner of the keyboard), and only fn-pgup/pgdn gave the effect of rotating the camera up/down - there's no zooming, let along rotating along z axis.

The only possibility of software interference I can think of is uControl 1.2 (for wheel scrolling emulation). I turned the wheel scrolling emulation off but the problem remained. Any more hint?
(it's really a pain not being able to zoom in/out)

Thanks.

In Warcraft 3 you can't really zoom the camera. All you can do is change the angle, or rotate it. And I know realize the PB G4 doesn't have a help key. Though holding fn with the delete key will rotate the camera one way, I do not believe there is a way to press the help key on a Titanium Powerbook... But anyway there is no true "zooming" in WC3
