Using the Mouse Pointer Versus the Text Cursor

Note the differences between "mouse pointer" and "text cursor":

Mouse pointer	moves as you move the mouse. SoftBench vi Editor
	uses an arrow for the mouse pointer in the text area
	(the same as when the pointer is over the menu bar).
Text cursor	is a solid box that shows vi's current location within a
	text area. When you insert text, the new characters
	appear at the cursor location and subsequent
	characters are moved to the right. SoftBench vi Editor
	positions the cursor in the upper left corner of a text
	area when you first edit a file. You can move this text
	cursor by moving the mouse pointer to the desired new
	location and then clicking the left mouse button.
