How do I set up PoKeys to use an analog input for the Z axis?

Boris,
Analog input only gives the choices of X, Y , RotX, RotY and Throttle. No Z axis.

Use one of that axis instead of Z.
What aplication needs Z axis on joystick? I did not seen Z axis on jostick.

Boris,
I am using a joystick for the x and y. I want to use a spring return pot for the z axis.

Now it is clear. We are talking about apples and peaches :)
PoKeys is joystick emulator and axes on PoKeys are emarked as on Joysticks.
My opinion is that you can assign any joystick axis to any Mach axis.
