IBM Partner Pavilion TrackPoint manual Applications

4.

Third-button

scrolling,

if

enabled, allows

you

to

scroll using

the

Shift

key

and

the

TrackPoint

stick

in

many

software

applications.

However,

scrolling

might

not

work

in

every

software

application.

Note:

The

Press-to-Select and third-button scrolling

functions

are

supported

only

with

Windows

98,

Windows 95, Windows

NT

4.0,

and

OS/2

Version

4.

For

DOS

Version

5.02

or

later,

Windows

3.1,

and

IBM OS/2

Version

3,

the

TrackPoint

keyboard

performs

as

a

PS/2-style

mouse

and

keyboard,

and

does

not

support

third-button

scrolling

and

Press-to-Select.

The TrackPoint pointing device is

very

easy

to

use.

The

following

instructions

will

help

you

get

started.

1.

Place

your

hands

in

the

typing

position.

the

heels

of your

hands

on

something solid. Place

either

index finger on the stick.

Rest

your

thumbs

comfortably

above

the

buttons.

2.

Press gently on

the

stick,

in

the

direction

you

want

the

pointer to

move:

away

from

you

to

move

up

the

screen

and

toward

you

to

move

down

the

screen.

Think

of the

stick

as

an

extension

of

your

finger.

Press

down

only

enough

to

keep

your

finger

from

slipping.

Remember

that

the

stick

does not

move.

3.

Find

a

movement

speed

that

you

can

control.

Do

not

press

too

hard

or

the

pointer

will

move

too quickly.

4.

Move

the

pointer

slowly

and

directly

to

the

target.

5.

With

your

thumbs,

use

the

buttons

to

select

and

drag

as

required

by

your

software,

just

as

with

any

other

pointing

device.
