Softkeys
The softkeys consist of 8 keys each on the keyboard and the
display.
You will most likely use these keys in conjunction with an
application software program, a utility program (such as
initializing media), or as typing aids; these are known as
user-defined softkeys. Pressing each key runs a pre-defined
program or routine stored in the computer memory.
User Defined Softkeys
The softkeys located on the display are numbered from 1 through
8. The softkeys on the keyboard contain the sets 9-16 and 17-24.
Softkeys 9-16 are accessed by pressing the appropriate key on the
keyboard; softkeys 17-24 are accessed by pressing the SHIFT
key and the appropriate key on the keyboard.
When softkeys 1-8 are defined, their definitions appear on the
display. This reduces the amount of lines the screen can hold
from 24 to 21. The definitions for softkeys 9-24 are not shown
on the display.
Below is an example of softkey labels on the display screen.
To learn more about using softkeys as typing aids, you should
