USB Overdrive will allow you to define something as Middle Click, and 
generally has other nice features...I have the inner right button 
defined as Click Lock and the outer as Double Click (or Command-Click in 
some applications).  It completely replaces the Intellipoint software.  
It's shareware, $20, from www.usboverdrive.com.

(As an aside, I've noticed lately that the number of trackballs seems to 
be declining, as everyone goes to wireless laser optical mice.  I 
consider this a sad thing.)
