Hello.

I run the IDV on a Mac and get the parameter name via the middle mouse button. 
Come to think of it, I am not sure a stock Apple mouse has a middle mouse 
button, if that is what you have. You may have to experiment with Shift / 
Option / Command / etc. click to get the effect of a middle mouse button.

Try experimenting and keep us up to date on your progress.

Thanks.

PS I am also having a bit of trouble understanding the original problem; this 
ticket seems to have passed through a few hands. If this does not resolve the 
issue, please have the original user submit a ticket to address@hidden. Thanks 
again.
