2-8 Operating Your Computer
The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad (work surface) and a left and right
buttons. To use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the pad. The
rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display. As you slide your
fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also called cursor) on the screen moves
accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, simply relocate yourself
by lifting the finger and placing it on the other side of the pad.
Here are some common terms that you should know when using the touchpad:

selection on the screen.
