Hi,

I am considering buying a tablet PC, Just wondering how difficult
using the typical left and right click mouse functions on a digitizer
pen? Is it just as easy to navigate of somewaht harder? What is the
actual procedure? Thanks much.

George

There are a couple of options depending on the hardware;

First, on all tablets a <tap> is the equivalent of a <leftclick> and
<tap/hold> is the equivalent of a <rightclick>

Some Wacom pens also have switches on the pens which can be assigned to
actions such as <rightclick>

There are a number of "built in" options to make pen input work well as
well as other utilities to speed up and make input equivalent if not
faster than by using a keyboard and mouse.
