[Usability] Mouse actions

[Joachim Noreiko <jnoreiko yahoo com>]

Another vocab question:

The User Guide section 'Basic Skills' lists things it
calls 'Mouse actions': click, double-click, drag, etc.

But then it says:

You can perform the following actions with the mouse:
Left mouse button
        * Select text.
        * Select items.
        * Drag items.
        * Activate items.

So we have actions you perform with the mouse, like
clicking... which you use to perform more actions,
like selecting.

It seems to me there's two levels involved here: 
1. physical things you do with the mouse
2. how you use those to interact with the GUI.

Can anyone think of better words for these than using
'actions' twice?
