Hold down the middle mouse button and then move your mouse.

If you have any special mouse software, make sure that your wheel-click isn't bound to any special function.

I figured it out, intellipoint had the wheel/mid-click set to something else.  Mapped another button on the mouse for Middle-Button and it works now.  Not sure why you just didn't use the right mouse button as it doesn't seem to do anything else on the cloth map.

actually if you have a unit or unit stack selected the right click is goto/attack location

I stand corrected.  However this is still going to be an issue for people/luddites that cling to 2-button mice/trackballs

Just make it the 'Insert' and 'Delete' buttons like in Starcraft 2 (in addition to the mouse way).
