The main keyboard (typewriter keyboard) conforms to ASCII standards and includes character
keys and control keys (such as the carriage return key and the break key).
The numeric pad is for entering numeric data and is similar to that of an ordinary electronic
calculator.
The ten blue keys in the upper left are keys whose functions are defined by the user.
The four yellow keys in the upper center are cursor control keys, and the four green keys in the
upper right are cassette tape deck control keys.
The functions of each element of the keyboard are explained in the following pages.
