I'm not finding anything about spining the camera or view freely.
Can someone clue me in on this?
I want to rotate view.
Wings has an excellent move/extrude/intude face/edge/point along normals tools so I want to just spin the veiw to avoid the x+x-,z+z-,y+y- views.
Is it available?

Yep, go to edit menu and click on camera modes! There's a whole range of choices. You can rotate, tumble and zoom with the mouse!

Oh and try pressing u then sit back and watch!

Heres a quick shortcut for you to avoid spending lots of time experimenting with the different camera modes (this comes froms the official user manual project at the official Wings forum):

lmb means left button, mmb middle, rmb right

Wings/Blender mode:
mmb = rotate view
Shift + mmb = translate view
Ctrl + mmb = zoom view
If you don't have a middle mouse button, use Alt + lmb instead.

Nendo mode:
mmb click = rotate mode
while in rotate mode, (mmb or rmb) drag to zoom
lmb to exit rotate mode
arrow keys = translate view
In Nendo mode you may use Ctrl-rmb click to enter rotate mode if you don't have a middle mouse button.

Max mode:
mmb = rotate view
ctrl + mmb = translate view
alt + ctrl + mmb = zoom view

Maya mode:
alt + lmb = rotate view
alt + mmb = translate view
alt + lmb + mmb = zoom view

Press MMB to enter Tumble, presss LMB to exit.

While in tumble mode,press 'q' to change to pan.

While in Tumble, hold down MMB and drag to zoom.

Use Mouse wheel to zoom.
