create a function to cap the values.

Function minmax# (value#,minval#,Maxval#)
	If value > maxval value = maxval
	If value < minval value = minval
	Return value
End Function

To use this, simply call minmax with the appropriate minimum and Max values.

example,...
print minmax (5,0,10) ; will return 5
print minmax (50,0,10) ;will return 10
print minmax (-10,0,10) ; will return 0

in your own code, you can use:
mousewheelposition=minmax(MouseZ(), minimum,maximum)

Edit: ahhh I see the problem you are having,... You will need to use this instead:

mousewheelposition=minmax(mousewheelposition + MouseZSpeed(), -5 ,-1)

now you are using the speed of the wheel to move rather than the absolute position.
