Ah, Ricardo: Thanks for getting back to me. I found out it's double-tap on the left side of the screen in the middle. This is getting to be a very cool device. But, Safari was behaving incredibly badly during my training session. It set a good example for the team of some of the cr*p we have to go through at times.:) Take care and thanks Carolyn ----- Original Message ----- From: Ricardo Walker To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2010 9:14 PM Subject: Re: tracpad question
Hi, I generally use the track pad commander for surfing the web. I don't use it very much in apps like Mail and iTunes because it forces me to interact with tables and such more than I find necessary. I'm not sure why double tapping on the Mail app isn't opening it up for you though. The commander sure does cut down on some of those 4 and 5 key combos. lol. This is where making your own assignable gestures comes into play.

Something that isn't clear to me is how to employ the trackpad and when to opt for it rather than keyboard. Here then is my question: > I have managed to select the Mail app on the trackpad. Is there a way to open it from there?
