Hi Bill,
The joystick is not supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox out of the box, but many people have had success. See this article
http://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletters/digest/june01/joystick.html
You can find the code here:

You may have to make some tweaks, but this will get you started.
Also, googling
matlab joystick
or sidewinder
may lead you to additional alternatives.

All the best,
Sherryl
