Drop-Down List Box
The drop-down list box displays available choices (see Figure A-10). In a
drop-down list box, the current choice (default) is highlighted. Selecting the arrow
to the right of the default enables you to open a list box of available choices.

If there are more choices available than what is listed in the box, you can use the
scroll bars provided to scroll through these other choices.
Using the Mouse and Keyboard
The mouse and keyboard allow you to move through windows and enter
information.
Using the Mouse
Use the left button to perform all of the NMS functions, such as selecting items
from a menu, moving the windows, etc. Moving the mouse across a flat surface
moves the cursor on the screen. If you run out of room for the mouse (by going
off the edge of the table, for instance), lift the mouse and put it back down where
you have more room.
The following definitions will help you use your mouse.
Point – Move the mouse until the cursor rests where you want it.
Press – Hold down the left button.
Click – Quickly press and release the left button.
Drag – Hold down the left button while moving the mouse.
Double-click – Click the left button twice in rapid succession. Do not move the
mouse while double-clicking.
