64-key QWERTY Keyboard

The Thor VM1 has a QWERTY keyboard, available with a standard overlay, an IBM 3270 overlay or an IBM 5250 overlay.
Because the keyboard only has 64 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the Thor
l
VM1 keyboard supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
A key or combination of keys can be remapped to provide a single keypress, a string of keypresses or to execute an

application or command. All key remapping is done using the KeyPad option in the Control Panel (Start > Settings >
Control Panel > Keypad).
