* Slide two fingers up and down to scroll.
* If you want to bring up a keyboard, tap on the screen to get a set of icons to appear and then click the keyboard icon.
* Hold and slide one finger to pan (useful when zoomed in).
* If you want to do the equivalent to a right click, tap with two fingers.
