Can't find arc, spiral, etc. tools

Question

I can't seem to open the tools that have the small arrow in the lower right-hand corner, such as the arc tool. I'm using Illustrator CS2, and I'm using a tutorial to learn it because I'm new at this. Have I changed a setting that won't allow the tools to open up all the way? Thanks!!

>I'm just using the tool box on the left side of the screen and clicking on the line segment tool, which should open up the other line tools as well...but nothing happens.
Click and hold, Colleen. Click and hold that button down for a second or two.
From the Illustrator 12 (CS2) Help file:
>Some tools have additional tools beneath themthese are called hidden tools. A small triangle at the lower right corner of the tool icon indicates that there are hidden tools. To view hidden tools, hold down the mouse button on the visible tool. To select a hidden tool, continue to hold down the mouse button, drag the pointer over the tool you want to select, and then release the mouse button. To tear off hidden tools into a separate palette, drag the pointer over the arrow at the end of the toolbox and release the mouse button. Click the close box on the palettes title bar to return the tools to the toolbox.
