Moving tangent arms independently? "C4D 11 Workshop" question

Okay...this is a total newbie question. I've searched this forum, consulted the 'help' function in C4D, checked the manual, and haven't been able to figure out the answer!

I'm currently working out of the "C4D 11 Workshop" book and I'm stuck on a particular step in one of the introductory projects. Specifically, it's page 13 (creating a Maglite), where it says to press the "Shift" key while clicking on one of the tangent arms on either side of a spline point in order to independently move the arms to create a gradual curvature in the spline. I'm following the instructions to the letter, but it doesn't work for some reason. HELP!

Arndt,

Thank you for the prompt response! I tried your suggestion, but with no luck!
Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about. Hopefully, it will clarify things a bit.



Thanks!

Yes, Adam made a good point. You have to use the Move tool if you want to move anything in the viewport. The screenshot shows, that you are using the Live Selection tool still.

Kind regards,

Sorry to interupt your thread, but you may be of assistance in solving an Adobe Photoshop software problem that I have.
I get this runtime error: (with the details)

AppName: photoshop.exe AppVer: 10.0.1.0 ModName: scriptingsupport.8li
ModVer: 10.0.0.0 Offset: 0015eebd

The only this I haven't tried is a full unistallation.

If you think you might be of brief assistance could you reply to
