1) Pointing points to an item, and sometimes displays a Help Tag about the item. Move the pointing device to position the tip of the on-screen pointer over an object, then hover.
2) Clicking selects an item, such as a file or folder, or opens an item that resides on the Dock. Point to an object, then quickly press and release the left button area once.
3) Double-clicking opens an item or resource, such as a file, folder, or software program (not residing on the Dock). Point to an object, then press the left button area twice in quick succession.
4) Right-clicking opens a shortcut menu. Point to an object, then quickly press and release the right button area once.
5) [control]-clicking opens a shortcut menu; functions as a right-click for a single-button pointing device. Point to an object, press and hold [control] on your keyboard, then press the button once.
6) Drag moves an object to a new location. Point to an object, press and hold the left button, move the object to a new location, then release the left button.
