Moving Items on the Screen

You use your PowerBook trackpad to move items and select items on the screen. 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, press the trackpad button.

The trackpad is sensitive to how fast 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.

You can find more information on setting up your PowerBook trackpad in the online help,
available in the Help menu.
