Bea, One must have a "Touch Screen" type of monitor in order for this "Finger" type a of action. You will find that at this time it is not the best, and is what Windows 8 is all about.

Is this the case with all W-7 machines? Is there a setting one has to adjust to get this working?   Since I bought my Sony Vaio a few months ago I have been using genealogy programs, e-mail, and occasionally wordprocessors, so haven't looked into what else W-7 cand do. Is there a site which gives an overview of W-7s abilities, and how they work, othere than th help menu on the machine?   Bea :-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~: Please refrain from posting commercial URLs and from discussing prices on the list.
