Using the Mouse
A mouse is a hand - held device that
controls the movement of a pointer on your screen. You use your mouse to
perfome tasks on your computer.
As you move the mouse, a mouse pointer
moves on your screen. When you position the pointer over an object, you
can press (click pr double click) the mouse button to perform different
action on the object. The pointer usually appears as an arrow, but it
can change shape. The following sections explain the other actions you
can perform with your mouse.
Mouse Functions
