Hi Phil, I think you have the general idea correct. Selecting multiple items is done with the shift key, I believe, and noncontiguous ones with the control key. Someone with more experience will have to correct me on that point. Drag-and-drop is pretty much what it sounds like, you use the left mouse button, and hold it down on the thing you want to drag, and release it at the destination. The right button is generally used for things like context menus, and thus a lot less frequently I believe. Yours, Zack. On Jan 2, 2013, at 10:36 AM, "Phil Halton" <[email protected]> wrote:
