Hi Paul, it really just is a control-click. It means, hold down the control key and hit the mouse button. Basically, press down on the trackpad. Of course, the mouse has to be focussed on the item you want to click first, and in some instances, you actually can't use the VOiceOVer keystroke for this in which case you will have to use this method.
