Ever wondered why the second mouse button is not used by
the GEM desktop? Well, it is ...:-) As always, its these undocumented
features that prolong the enjoyment of using a system and make it more
of an adventure. Anyway, to the matter at hand.
Imagine you have two windows open on the desktop, one for drive
A and the other for drive B. If, say, the window for drive A is the
active window, but you want to copy a file from window B to window A,
you don't have to click on window B 40 times for things to happen. Simply
hold down the right mouse button, while you position the pointer over
the file in the inactive window. Now, keeping the right mouse button
down, click on the left mouse button and drag the icon to the active
window. Release both buttons and the file will be copied without the
active window being changed! Similarly, you can also run a program which
is sitting in an inactive window using a right-down-left-double-click.
Have fun!
