SAS Companion for the OpenVMS Operating Environment

Using the Mouse

You can use the left mouse button (MB1) to make a mark, and the middle mouse button (MB2) to paste the mark into a SAS System window. Although the right mouse button (MB3) is not used in cut-and-paste operations, various procedures use MB3 to display a pop-up menu.


SAS Mouse Pointer Shapes

When you use the SAS windowing interface under OpenVMS, you see several mouse pointer shapes. If the mouse pointer has its standard shape (usually an arrow), the SAS System is ready to receive your input.

Besides the standard shape, two other mouse pointer shapes are common:

watch (or clock) cursor
indicates that you must wait. The SAS System is performing other tasks and is not ready to accept your input.

dash inside a circle
indicates that the pointer is in an inactive window. User interaction with this window is temporarily disabled.
