Button Name Function
------- --------- -----------------------------------------------------
Middle MENU Pop-up the main menu of feature options. This is
equivalent to clicking any mouse button on the MAIN
MENU button on the screen menu.
Right SELECT Select the figure or connector under the cursor.
If the object beneath the cursor is already selected,
deselect it.
Clicking while no object is below the cursor deselects
all selected figures.
Dragging a "lasso" shown by a dotted box around a
group of objects selects those objects.
Left DRAG "Drags" the figure beneath the cursor to a new position.
If multiple objects are selected, they are all dragged.
If no object is beneath the cursor, a new figure is
created.
* Note that DRAG, SELECT, and MENU can be assigned to different buttons.
