Operating Your Computer 2-7
The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad (work surface) and a left and
right buttons. To use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the
pad. The rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display.
As you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also called cursor)
on the screen moves accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of
the pad, simply relocate yourself by lifting the finger and placing it on the
other side of the pad.
