some terms are fairly standard throughout the industry.

Using the ScrollPoint mouse
The IBM ScrollPoint Mouse included with some computers is a full-function mouse
that you can use to point and select objects on the screen. The ScrollPoint Mouse
also provides a mini-stick navigator that you can use to scroll in any direction
without using scroll bars. This feature is particularly useful when you are viewing
Web pages, large documents, and spreadsheets.
If your computer has preinstalled software, the device drivers for the ScrollPoint
Mouse are already installed on the hard disk. Also, software is provided that you
can use to program the buttons and mini-stick with different functions , such as:
Ÿ
Zoom, which you can use to increase or decrease the size of an image
Ÿ
HyperJump and CyberJump, which enable a pop-up menu of tools and
shortcuts
For more information on programming the buttons and mini-stick, see the online
documentation provided with the application. Also, information about the
ScrollPoint Mouse is located on the World Wide Web at:
