The two track stick buttons, located between the touch pad and the space bar on the keyboard, correspond to the left and right buttons on a
mouse.

To move the cursor, apply pressure to the track stick with your index finger. Press up or down to move the cursor to the top or bottom of the 
display screen. Press left or right to move the cursor to the left or right of the display screen.

To select and move (or drag) an object, position the cursor on the object. Then press and hold the left track stick button. Leave your thumb on 
the button and move the selected object by pressing the track stick in the desired direction.

To double-click an object, position the cursor on the object and then tap the left track stick button or the track stick itself twice. The track stick
