Hi Don & Madison,

Thank you very much for your input but, I am trying to explain to a sighted 
computer abuser how to select text / files using a mouse.  Not ever having 
using a mouse, I wanted to make sure to use the correct terminology.  You 
know, like, Hold down a control key & arrow down.

2. On each file you would like to select press your left mouse click 1 time, 
to highlight it.

I think y'all get the right idea.  I know the keystrokes to do this with 
Jaws but, I want to make sure I explain keystrokes into correct mouse 
clicks.  i.e. Correctly saying which mouse click, left / right or, Single 
mouse click / Double mouse click.  I think that I have the general idea but, 
just want to make sure, you know, some reassurance!  Thanks again, take 
care.
Mike

  Hi Greg,

  yes, your understanding is correct. It is just like copying or cutting 
text
  in a word processor such as Microsoft Word.
