Keyboard Configuration

This section repeats much of the information found in the User's Guide and
Operaffons Manual. It describes the various groups of the keyboard, how they
are typically used in software applications, and the codes produced by each key
undervarious conditions.
Figure 5.1 identifies the twenty six alphabetic keys, the CAPS LOCK, and the
two SHIFT keys. The keys are arranged following the American standard typewriter
arrangement, and the two SHIFT keys and CAPS LOCK key function in a manner
similar to a typewriter. The exception is that the CAPS LOCK key affects only
the alphabetic keys. All other keys are unaffected by its action.
A small red light in the key indicates the function of the CAPS LOCK key. If
the light is on, the function is on and alphabetic keys are entered as uppercase.
If the light is off, the alphabetic keys are received as lowercase unless one or
both of the two SHIFT keys are down at the time of a key entry.
