Using The Mouse - IBM XStation 130 Set Up And Operation Manual

Using the Mouse
The three-button mouse shown is a hand-operated locator device available for use with the
Xstation; consult your application publication for exact use of the mouse.
Three-Button Mouse
You can use the mouse to perform such functions as positioning a cursor, selecting items
from a menu, or moving around in your document much easier and faster than if you used
only the keyboard. You can also use the mouse for graphics applications if the software is so
equipped. The cursor, or image of the mouse on the display screen, moves exactly as you
move the mouse on a flat surface, such as a desk top.
When you move the mouse around on a flat surface as shown in this illustration, the cursor
moves on the display screen; the movement positions the cursor.
With the mouse buttons, you can perform functions such as selecting and deselecting
options, extend your selection, or choosing a command. The precise function of your mouse
depends on the software you are using.
The mouse has a cable that plugs into a mouse connector on the back of the Xstation.
