Conventions
Throughout the tutorial,
mousemouse
operations are frequently used. In order to
facilitate our subsequent discussion,
we introduce the following conventions. See
the Open Windows Users Guide [7] for more information
on Open Windows interaction conventions.

Items
on pop-up menus are
selected by holding this mouse button while the pointer is dragged
to the menu entry being chosen.
- 5.
- Text fields are edited by first clicking
within the appropriate text field, and then using keyboard
keys including Delete to change the entries.
- 6.
- One of the features of the Open Look environment
is that menus may be opened for display without continuing to
hold the mouse button. Clicking (without holding)
on a
menu button is the procedure for doing this. One can then select
a menu entry by clicking
or
on it. The menu
can also be dismissed by clicking
again outside the menu.
- 7.
- Windows are moved by clicking and holding
on
the window header while moving the pointer. When the window is
in a satisfactory location, simply release
.
