Question about i-pac and front ends

I have an i-pac in my cabinet with the player one joystick mapped to the arrow keys... When I run some front ends (in this case Raging Dragon) and I try to page through lists of games by pushing the joystick to the right -- It will only go one page at a time...

In other words I have to push right, then let go, then push right, ect. to get it to keep paging... But if I use the keyboard and just press the right arrow key and hold it down... It pages through automatically.

I'm assuming this has something to to with the type-amatic rate?? Is there a way to alter this setting on the i-pac?? Would I even want to (i.e. could it screw-up the control in mame)?? Suggestions??

Strangly enough, when I just push the joystick up or down (to scroll through the list one game at a time) and hold it, it scrolls perfectly. Go figure.
