The interval between presses for double clicking, and other parameters of pointing and selecting, can be adjusted with the selections in the dialog box of the mouse icon in your Windows Control Panel.

Dragging means moving the cursor over an object, pressing the left button – and keeping it pressed – while moving the cursor to the desired new location, then releasing the button. (Figure 3-5.)

ErgoTrac Pointing Device

Control Adjustment

The Mouse Properties in your Windows Control Panel provides customization of your ErgoTrac pointing device. There are four (4) aspects of the ErgoTrac pointing device opera- tion which you can adjust.

■Buttons – This lets you set up the buttons for right or left handed operation and set the time interval for double clicking.

■Pointers – This lets you set up the size and shape of the cursor for different functions.

■Motion – This lets you set up the relation of the speed of motion of your finger to the motion of the cursor and to enable a trailing tail for the cursor arrow.

You may want to try practicing with different adjustments until you find a combination that is comfortable for you.

USING THE KEYBOARD

Your notebook has an integral 87-key keyboard. (Figure 3-6.)The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard and also include Windows keys and other special func- tion keys. This section describes only those items specific to your notebook. They are the numeric keypad, the cursor keys, the function keys, the function extension key (Fn) and the Windows keys.

Numeric Keypad

Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. Figure 3-6 highlights these keys. To switch into numeric keypad mode, press the NumLk/Scr Lk while holding down the Shift key. You can now enter numer- als 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), sub- traction ( – ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.

To return these keys to their normal character function, press the NumLk/Scr Lk while holding down the Shift key again.
