Using the Mouse

The UNIX mouse has three buttons. Procedures within the SPMA document set
refer to these buttons as follows:

Figure 1-2. Mouse Buttons

If youÕre using a two-button mouse, donÕt worry. SPMA doesnÕt make use of
mouse button 2. Just click the left button for button 1 and the right mouse button
when instructed to use mouse button 3.

Whenever possible, we will instruct you on which mouse button to employ;
however, menu buttons within SPMA applications will operate according to the
convention employed by the active windowing system. By convention, menu
buttons under the Motif windowing environment are activated by clicking the left
mouse button (referred to as mouse button 1 in SPMA documentation), and there
is no response to clicking the right button (mouse button 3). Under
OpenWindows, menu buttons can be activated by clicking the right button, and
convention dictates that the left button activates a default menu option; within
SPMA, that default option will also display the entire menu. Because of this
difference, references to activating a menu button will not include instructions
about which mouse button to use. All other panels from which menus can be
accessed, and all buttons which do not provide access to menus, will operate
according to SPMA convention, as documented.
