Following a Path

Many instructions in documentation direct you to locations within the operating system, an application, or a utility where you can select settings. The greater than symbol (>) is used to direct you from destination to destination along the path to the settings.

As you follow paths, do nothing at each destination along the way except select the next destination. The paths in your notebook documentation:

❏To select, press the left TouchPad button 1 once.

❏To double-click, press the left TouchPad button twice.

❏To right-click, press the right TouchPad button 2 once.
