[guide-user] Encoder direction

Hi,
We've got to the stage of using the encoders with Guide and got the red
circle on screen. Having put the first two guide stars in, the scope
moves one way and the circle moves the opposite way.
I have, with only an hour's work, swapped over the dec mouse encoder.
Swapping the R/A mouse encoder would involve top mounting the mouse.
However, I was considering putting a single stage gear system on the
R/A as we are at the moment only getting a change of count every 8
seconds. I am though, rather concerned about backlash!
Go on, tell me there's a simple way of swapping over the direction of
the JM3 input! I've tried a variety of things already. There appears to
be no way of doing this using the mouse software or the "encoder"
software.
Help anyone?
Paul
