Mac Nubie & TGB

Being new to the Mac I'm still bad at converting WenTel instruction to Mac. My question is this, when told to "right click and drag" how is this done on the Mac? I'm using a MacBook Pro so using a two button mouse would be hard. ;)

Ok, I think I asked the wrong question.....I was trying to find out how to move the TGB view off of the camera view, to the right, so I can see what I'm doing in a shooter/scroller. The direction seem to say to 'right click' and that doesn't seem to do anything. I'm looking at the shooter tutorial.

The problem is that Torque overrides modifier keys. You cannot use CTRL+Click to emulate a right-click in default Torque. The only thing Torque registers is "CTRL" and "Left Click".
I'm not sure about the TWO FINGER click, though. If your MacBook Pro is new enough then you can go into the System Preferences and enable "Two-Finger-Trackpad Right-Click" or some-such. It enables you to get a right click by having two fingers on the trackpad and then clicking (kind of like two finger scroll). If that works then you can just move around the screen by using two-finger-clicking, hold down the button and move the mouse. Good stuff.
Seriously, though. A little laptop mouse would go a long way.

Right clicking is how you do it. I'm on an old Powerbook with a Logitech mouse at the moment and you definitely do it by using the right-click.The problem is that Torque overrides modifier keys.
