 * 1) On the Main menu, click Settings.
 * 2) Under Controls, click Assignments.
 * 3) Scroll the Event list to Pan a view.

NOTE: If the Joystick column shows an assignment already, click to highlight the Pan a view line, and then click Delete joystick assignment to remove it.
 * 1) Double-click Pan a view in the Assignment list.
 * 2) Move the POV hat switch on the joystick to assign this event.

NOTE: As you move the POV hat switch, POV 0 should be listed in the box.
 * 1) Click OK.
 * 2) Under the Repeat column, make sure the lever is all the way to the right.
 * 3) Click OK.
