Hello!
    I have a fairly simple question=
: how do you perform middle slice turns?
On the standard {4,3,3}x3,=
the middle slice effect can easily be achieved by turning opposite cubes i=
n opposite ways, obviously. But, for example, on the {4,3,3}x4, I can't fig=
ure out how to slice any of the cubes right down the center. In essence, it=
's been reduced back down to just a {4,3,3}x3 without those turns. Also, if=
I do a 2 or 3 move scramble on the {3,3,3}x3, it often does a middle =
slice of sorts, but since no tetrahedra are paired into opposites, I can't =
seem to undo the effect of the middle slice.
    Thi=
s is probably just a user interface thing I'm missing. Is there a key to ho=
ld down as you click in such a way to make a middle slice happen?

    Thanks,

-Ryan
