The call to click on is squeeze, followed by centers. Squeeze is a call that takes a designator, telling those people to do it. The difference between that and the use of the centers concept with the plain call squeeze is rather subtle. Humans may have no trouble knowing what to do, but Sd has a difficult time with it. There are other calls (like trade) that have a similar problem. You must use the squeeze call. It is much simpler just to type “centers squeeze”. The parser in Sdtty and Sd is designed to resolve ambiguities such as this; the menu mechanism of Sd can’t do it. Even if you are using Sd and prefer the mouse-and-menu mechanism, typing what you want is a good way to proceed when problems like this arise.
