Using the TrackPoint
The TrackPoint is a unique device for moving the cursor on the
screen. You can perform all mouse operations with the
TrackPoint. The left and right click buttons function like the left
and right click buttons on a mouse. For an explanation of the
center button, see the

To move the cursor, use the red-topped stick at the center of the
keyboard. Press gently with your left or right index finger in the
direction you want to move the cursor. To select and drag an
object, press and hold one of the click buttons with either thumb
as required by your software.
Click means to press the left click button once. Double-click
means to press the left click button twice within 1 second.
