Hi, I suggest one of two approaches.
First, plug in a usb keybord. The number pad on the left now controls
all the mouse functions, and you can start pushing buttons to find out
what they do. Once you are comfortable using the mouse functions with
the desktop keyboard, then unplug that keybord. On the left hand side
of your laptop keybord at the bottom you have an fn key. It is
usually on one side or the other of the left control key.
Hold this down, and the right side of your keyboard becomes a standard
number pad. Once you get used to the feel the mouse functions are
right where you would expect them to be from your learning on the
desktop keybord, more or less with the major difference being the
placement of the left and right mouse click buttons.
The other approach you can take is to switch to laptop layout from the
get go.
Press insert 1 to turn on keybord help, and then use control plus
shift plus the keys on the right hand side of the keybord to learn
what they do.
I like the first approach personally. Unfortunately I am stuck with
the second because apple took the number pad off of their laptop lines
last year and effectively crippled window-eyes mouse functions not to
mention numpad commander on the os 10 side.
