Let's Start at the Very Beginning

Using the AccuPoint Pointing Device

Using the AccuPoint Pointing Device
The computer's AccuPoint pointing device enables you to move
the cursor and to select items on the screen. If you're familiar with
desktop computers, you may have used a mouse or trackball for
this purpose. The AccuPoint provides all the functionality of a
mouse or trackball without your hands ever leaving the keyboard.
If you would rather use a mouse or trackball, you can connect one
to the computer's serial port or PS/2 port. You may also use the
mouse port on the optional NoteDock™.
The AccuPoint pointing device
To move the cursor, gently push the AccuPoint in the direction
you want the cursor to move. Pushing harder on the AccuPoint
moves the cursor faster.
When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary button. To
double-click, click the primary button twice in rapid succession.
The primary button corresponds to the left button on a mouse.
The function of the secondary button depends on the programs
you're using. It corresponds to the right button on a mouse. Check
your programs' documentation to find whether they use the right
mouse button.
