MORE Keys
On the built-in trackballs the two keys are situated above the DO key, The right one is called MORE
key. The left key has no function. On the desktop trackball and mouse, this is the right button. The func-
tions of the MORE key depend on the element you point at on screen. In some cases pressing the MORE
key opens menus, in other cases additional information are displayed. However, not all elements which
can be operated by means of the DO key will also respond to the MORE key.
Scroll Wheel
If a scroll wheel is available, it can be used to scroll down lists or to zoom into or out of charts. Only
mouse and desktop trackball may be equipped with a scroll wheel.
