plastic unit with two buttons, a turning dial (on some models) and
an attached wire (on most models) that connects to the back of the
computer.

Double-click (with left button)

This is two quick clicks. You may have to practice to get the hang
of how quick to click. Generally, the double-click action is used to
open something (like a folder), or launch something (like a pro-
gram). Most often, the double-click option is the 1st step in a task.

Click

This is a short, light, click using the left button on the mouse.
Generally, the click is used for selecting or choosing something. It
can be used to confirm a selection as well. Most often, the click is
the 2nd option for a task.

Right-click

This short, light, click of the right button on the mouse usually
opens additional options. A "fly-out" box will appear giving options
relative to the item that was right-clicked.

Scroll button

This button is used to scroll the screen up or down in any screen.
