Moving Items on the Screen

You use your PowerBook trackpad to move and select items on the screen, much as you use
a mouse with a desktop computer. To move the arrow pointer on the screen, slide your
finger across the trackpad. To select, click, or double-click an item on the screen, use the
trackpad button.

Note:

Instead of using the trackpad button, you can select, click, and double-click directly

on the trackpad. You turn on this and other trackpad options in the Mouse pane of System
Preferences.

The trackpad is sensitive to how quickly you move your finger. To move the pointer a short
distance across the screen, move your finger slowly across the trackpad. The faster you move
your finger, the farther the pointer moves on the screen.
