Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using a mouse. He highlights List Files and clicks the left button. At the bottom of his screen is his directory. If he hits his right button, the directory comes up; the same as if he had pressed Enter. Now if he highlights PARENT and hits the right button it exits back to the document screen, if he hits enter it moves toward the root directory. He wants to suggest that this is not how things should work. Is the right button suppose to act similar to pressing enter? Solutions: The answer to this problem is documented under Mouse Setup and Mouse Support in the WP reference manual. The customer is entering the List Files feature correctly, but once he gets there he is hitting the wrong button. When you are in the list files screen the right button can act as either the [enter] key or the F7 key (depending on what is appropriate.) If the customer wished to view a document in the directory he needs to highlight the file by moving the mouse pointer to the appropriate place and "double-click" with the left button. If he only clicks once WP will only move the bar to that filename. At this point pressing the right button will exit back to the list files screen. If the customer wishes to change directory, he must move the pointer to the directory he wishes and "double-click" once and then press the right button (which now acts as the [enter] key). This should solve the problem.
