the amount of pressure. The pointing device itself does not move. The click buttons
work like those on a standard mouse—what they do depends on the software
you’re using.

2. With your index finger, gently press the pointing device in the direction you
want the pointer to move.
Pressing the pointing device away from you moves the pointer up the screen
and pressing it toward you moves the pointer down the screen.
