The mouse and pointer The mouse moves the pointer around the screen. The buttons on the mouse are used to
select or adjust items you are pointing at on the screen, or to display menus. Using the
mouse is explained in the next chapter.
Menus A menu is a list of tasks or other options from which you can choose what you want to
do next. Menus are an easy way of making a selection - you don't usually have to type
anything, you just point at what you want, then select it. See the chapter Menus for
more details.
