Getting Started
Using the computer for the first time
Once you have positioned your cursor, you may either click it in
place by double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control
buttons. For more on the TouchPad and control buttons together,
see “Lesson 2: Using the TouchPad pointing device” on
page 114.
Control buttons
When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand)
button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid
succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left
mouse button.
The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the
program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse
button. Check your program’s documentation to find whether it
uses the right mouse button.
