How do I resize a texture to fit in

Ok. I have learned something. I now have a basic understanding of how to use point edit to place a texture on a model. How do I get the texture to fit into the area of the model and display properly? See picture below

argo34116:
just adding the obj file I have been working with

kreator:
Select the area where you want the texture to appear. Click the apply button as you would when adding textures, then click the UV tool (Keystroke Shift/ U)

You should now have a Yellow Box with a yellow circle, use the left. middle and right mouse buttons within and outside the circle  to orientate and scale the texture. This does take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it comes naturally!

I am on a laptop. Any keyboard shortcuts to help? Or maybe I should just invest in a real mouse? It is difficult to work with the one on the laptop. I just have to shrink the texture to fit into that area, then repeat for other side and front and wings.

Invest in a real mouse.   ;)
