To move the cursor, apply pressure to the track stick with your right or left index finger. Press up or

cursor to the left or right of the display screen.
To select an object, tap once on the track stick or use your thumb to press the left track stick button.
The track stick buttons perform standard mouse functions.
To select and move (or drag) an object, position the cursor on the object. Then press and hold the left
