<title>Usage</title>
<para>
You don't need to do anything special to use this applet. It will
report the position of your cursor as you move your mouse about.
Clicking on the <application>Where Am I?</application> will "grab"
the cursor, causing it to change to a cross-hairs shape. Once the
cursor has been grabbed, you can can drag the cursor to measure
the dimensions of an area on the screen. A second click will
ungrab the cursor, and restore normal operation.
</para>
<para>
Right-clicking on the applet brings up a menu containing the
following items:
