double-click. Unlike a traditionally pointing device, the whole pad acts
as if it were a left button and each tap on the pad is equivalent to
pressing the left button.
Drag and Drop
You can execute commands or move files by using "drag and drop".
In drag and drop, you activate a file by pointing to it and clicking.
However, when you click the button, you do not release the button
but instead hold it down. You can then drag the active file around the
screen by moving your finger around the pad. When you have placed
the file where you want it, for example in a new directory, release the
left button. The file will drop into the new location. You can also do
drag and drop operations using the touchpad as a large left button.
Position the cursor over the item that you want to drag. Gently tap
twice on the pad. On the second tap, keep your finger in contact with
the pad. You can then drag the selected object around the screen by
moving your fingertip across the pad. When you lift your fingertip
from the pad, the selected object will drop into place.

Changing the Configuration

You may want to customize the mouse. For example, if you are a
left-handed user, you can swap the buttons over so that you can use
the right button to generate events that are normally generated by
the left button. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer,
the speed of the pointer and so on.
If you are using Windows, double-click the "Mouse" icon in the
Windows Control Panel. The Mouse Properties window allows you to
change various configurations. Instead of Windows, you can also use
the touchpad software supplied with your notebook to change the
configuration.

Scroll Button

In addition to the standard left and right buttons, there is a scroll
button. You can scroll the window up by pressing , the upper half
of the button, and down by pressing , the lower half.
