        2.  to move a pointing device so that the
        on-screen pointer is positioned over a certain object on the
        screen such as a button in a graphical user interface.  in
        most window systems it is then necessary to click a
        physical button on the pointing device to activate or select
        the object.  in some systems, just pointing to an object is
        known as "mouse-over" event which may cause some help text
        called a "tool tip" in windows to be displayed.
