4. Third-button scrolling, if enabled, allows you to scroll using the
Shift key and the TrackPoint stick in many software applications.
However, scrolling might not work in every software application.
Note: The Press-to-Select and third-button scrolling functions are
supported only with Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, and
OS/2 Version 4. For DOS Version 5.02 or later, Windows 3.1, and
IBM OS/2 Version 3, the TrackPoint keyboard performs as a
PS/2-style mouse and keyboard, and does not support third-button
scrolling and Press-to-Select.
The TrackPoint pointing device is very easy to use. The following
instructions will help you get started.
1. Place your hands in the typing position. Rest the heels of your
hands on something solid. Place either index finger on the stick.
Rest your thumbs comfortably above the buttons.
2. Press gently on the stick, in the direction you want the pointer to
move: away from you to move up the screen and toward you to
move down the screen. Think of the stick as an extension of
your finger. Press down only enough to keep your finger from
slipping. Remember that the stick does not move.
3. Find a movement speed that you can control. Do not press too
hard or the pointer will move too quickly.
4. Move the pointer slowly and directly to the target.
5. With your thumbs, use the buttons to select and drag as required
by your software, just as with any other pointing device.
6. Press down or tap lightly on the stick top to select an object if
Press-to-Select is enabled.
