Moving Items on the Screen
You use your PowerBook trackpad to move items and select items on the screen, much as
you use a mouse with a desktop computer. 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, use
the trackpad button.
Note:
Instead of using the trackpad button, you can click and double-click directly on the
trackpad. You turn on this option in the Trackpad control panel.
The trackpad is sensitive to how quickly 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.

Keep your finger and the trackpad dry. If the trackpad becomes moist from
humidity or condensation, gently wipe it with a clean cloth before you use it.

Never use any kind of cleaning solution on the trackpad.
For more information on using the trackpad, see Mac Help or Mac Tutorials, available
