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.

1.
The three mouse buttons on the Sun mouse will be denoted \framebox{SELECT}, \framebox{ADJUST}, and \framebox{MENU}. By default, these are the left, middle , and right mouse buttons respectively.

2.
Shift-clicking and control-clicking are defined as pressing a mouse button while Shift or Control are also depressed. We will use notations like \framebox{Shift-MENU} and \framebox{Control-MENU} to indicate these.

3.
Buttons are activated by clicking \framebox{SELECT} on them.

4.
Menus generally are opened by pressing \framebox{MENU}. 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 \framebox{SELECT} 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) \framebox{MENU} on a menu button is the procedure for doing this. One can then select a menu entry by clicking \framebox{MENU} or \framebox{SELECT} on it. The menu can also be dismissed by clicking \framebox{MENU} again outside the menu.

7.
Windows are moved by clicking and holding \framebox{SELECT} on the window header while moving the pointer. When the window is in a satisfactory location, simply release \framebox{SELECT}.
