To use the mouse:
1. Place the mouse on a clean, flat surface
near the monitor – for example, on a desk
or counter top. Use a mouse pad for best
performance.
2. Click the left button. A window appears on
the monitor. The cursor appears as a
reverse-video box inside the window. The
item on which the cursor appears is called
highlighted, to indicate that it is the current
selection.
3. To highlight other items, slide the mouse
forward, back, right, and left across the
surface.
4. When the item you want is highlighted,
click the left mouse button. This displays
either another menu or an information
window.
5. To close all windows, click the right mouse
button until the system resumes event
monitoring.
