Pen tool: convert point tool question

When using the convert point tool to change an anchor point to a curved
line, is there a way to adjust the curve on one side of the anchor point at
a time? As it is now, I click on the anchor point with the convert point
tool and drag which creates curved lines on both sides (the curve adjustment
handles appear on both sides of the anchor point). Is there a way to use
the covert point tool and click on the anchor point and manipulate the
curved path on only one side of the anchor point? Adjusting the curve on
one side of the anchor point at a time. Thanks in advance.

Don't know if this is what you want or not but if you have the pen tool
active, you can hold down the Alt key and grab one of the arms and just move
that one.
