Your Jornada runs WinCE. The entire OS is designed to do away
with concepts such as right-clicking and other option clicks. The drag
option vs. a click is usually resolved on systems by either using a double
click, or detecting a click vs. a hold. My old synaptics touchpad on my
previous laptop had a "bounce" option to handle drag actions, but this too
involves something more complex than a simple "dumb" stylus control.
The short and simple answer is that your PDA is designed to only
need a single input mode, while the desktop version of Windows is not.
