Using the Mouse
The mouse is a hand–operated locating device. Consult your application publication
for the exact use of the three-button mouse.
You can use the mouse to perform functions such 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. The cursor moves exactly as you move the mouse on
a flat surface, such as a desktop.
When you move the mouse around on a flat surface as shown in the following
illustration, the cursor moves on the display screen; the movement changes the
position of the cursor.
With the mouse buttons, you can perform functions such as selecting and
deselecting options, extending 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 connector at the rear of the system unit.
