Touchpad basics
Use the touchpad as follows:
Move your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.
Press the left (1) and right (3) buttons located on the edge of the touchpad to do
selection and execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and
right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad produces similar results.
Use the 4-way scroll (2) key (top/bottom/left/right) to scroll a page up, down, left or
right. This button mimics your cursor pressing on the vertical and horizontal scroll
bars of Windows applications.
