Using the Touch Pad

To use the Touch Pad, simply touch and move your finger tip across it in the
direction you want the on-screen pointer to go.
Two buttons below the Touch Pad are used like the buttons on a mouse pointer.
Press the left button to select a menu item or to manipulate text or graphics desig-
nated by the pointer. Press the right button to display a menu or other function
depending on the software you are using.
NOTE: You can also tap the Touch Pad to perform functions similar to
those of the left button.
