Click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to single click the left button.  
Right click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to single click the right button.  
Double-click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to click the left button twice.  
Select means to position the mouse cursor over a radio button, checkbox, or list item and click on it.  
The scroll wheel in between the two buttons is used for added navigation functionality. By moving the wheel with index finger (scrolling), quickly  
move through multiple pages, lines, or windows. The wheel may also function as a third button allowing the user to quickly click or double-click
