Using QuickQ With A Mouse
A mouse is a device that allows you to move a cursor
on the screen to specific points for data entry, and
other menu selections (Figure A1-1). An arrow image,
called the mouse pointer, moves on the screen when
you move the mouse. Practice moving the pointer.
Stay away from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
(If you accidentally make a menu appear, you can
make it disappear by moving the pointer out of the
menu and pressing and releasing the left mouse
button.)
Occasionally the pointer might seem to disappear.
Usually it is just off the screen. To make the pointer
reappear, move the mouse in a circle a few times.
To move the mouse without moving the pointer, lift up
the mouse. The pointer doesn't move while the mouse
is in the air.
Most of the time, you use one of the following two
mouse button techniques:
•
clicking,
•
dragging.

Clicking (Selecting an item): To click, press the left
button and immediately release it. By clicking, you
can select an item, such as a menu or an icon.
Note that the top left corner of the screen has a sign-in
label. Use it to perform the following exercise. Place
the pointer at the sign-in title and click the mouse
button. The QuickQ opens a window.
Dragging (Moving a window): Dragging consists of
three steps:
1. pressing and holding the left mouse button,
2. moving the mouse,
3. releasing the mouse button.
Dragging allows you to move the position of a
window on the screen. You can position different
windows on the screen to give yourself a better view
of system set-up parameters, (for example, the
announcement window and the line group window).
Having both windows appear at the same time, you
can identify the announcement messages assignment
that is relative to the line groups. To move the sign in
window, place the pointer on the title bar (system
access), and drag. As you drag, an outline of the
window moves with the pointer's. Practice moving
the sign in window on the screen.
