Disclaimer:

This entry A714485 in no way specifies how to use a mouse that is not functional i.e., broken, still in packaging, not attached to a computer. Also the entry A714485 dose not deal with the nuances of scroll bars, scroll buttons, 2nd and 3rd buttons. For further information on such things you may contact U107111 if you would like to see entries on such matters.
