Main Display Area
Cursor
Values, labels, and alphanumeric data in general are entered from the keyboard.
Selections and screen control operations are generally done using a mouse or other
graphical I/O device, although keyboard selection shortcuts are provided. Selections are
made with the mouse by simply positioning the mouse cursor on the selection item and
clicking the left mouse button. If selecting a filename, clicking the right mouse button
brings up a special menu (Figure 37) that allows additional file operations to be
performed. The appearance of the mouse varies according to its location. Most of the
time it is simply a selection pointer. If located at the edge of a screen element that can be
resized by dragging the edge, it becomes a double arrow pointing in the directions the
edge can be dragged. In a data entry box it becomes a vertical bar crossed at the top and
bottom. Clicking in a data entry box causes the keyboard insertion-point editing cursor to
appear so that data can be entered. For more information on cursors, see Cursors on page
237.
