Desktop,just as objects can be moved about an actua l desk. To
move an icon, position the pointer within the icon and press
the mouse button. While holding the mouse button, move the
pointer about the Desktop surface. No tice that an out line of
the icon moves with the pointer. This is depicted in figure 3.10.
When the mou se button is released, the icon wi ll move from its
original position to the position indicated by the outline. The
procedure just described is known as dragging the icon.
