Works for me.  Make sure that you specify a spell to cast first, by typing
(for example):

  'cast burning hands

you can fire arrows by first readying a bow by clicking on it with the 
middle mouse button.  Once you have something readied, pressing shift and 
direction should work.  Note that for spell casting, the first 
shift+direction starts the casting, and the second one (after the casting 
is complete) actually fires the spell.

Type " (quote) followed by the text you want to say.

Not that I know of.  Irritating, isn't it?  If you are using Linux & 
XFree86, add the the line 'Emulate3Buttons' to your Xconfig file.  Then
when you press the left and right buttons simultaneously, it will act like
the middle button was pressed.  Kind of a kludge, but it works.  Better 
though is to get a real 3 button mouse :).

There isn't one that I know of.  Want to start it? :)
