Command Function Keys - IBM 5291 1 Operator's Manual

Command Function Keys
The top row of data keys and the Character Backspace key, when used with
the Command key, are known as the command function keys. Command
function keys are used to communicate with the system program. The dark
keys in the following illustration are the command function keys.
The Command key is used to select the command functions that are described
on the IBM 5291 Keyboard Template, GX21-9410 for the Model 1 or the IBM
5291 Model 2 Keyboard Template, GX21 -9501. The command functions are
assigned. by the system programmer and permit the display station operator to
communicate with the system program.
Each template has 24 spaces that correspond to the upper row of data keys on
the keyboard. Your programmer can label the template to describe the
functions of these keys. The template should then be placed in the area just
above the top row of the keyboard keys as shown. Refer to Command Key in
Chapter 2 for more detailed information.
