keyboard and also the function of each key.
Keyboard Layout of the U.S. English IBM Enhanced Keyboard
The arrangement of the data entry keys is almost the same as that of a
typewriter. The function keys surrounding the data entry keys are arranged for
ease of use while in power data entry operation.
Figure Figure 4-1 shows the keyboard layout of the U.S. English IBM enhanced
keyboard.
The top row of keys has a Function (F) number both on the top and bottom half of
the key and a symbol or words on the overlay. Top numbers are accessed using
the Shift key. The functions on the overlay are used to make display and
keyboard adjustments. To use the function assigned to the key, see your host
system operating manual.
The right side of the keyboard has a calculator-like keypad for entry of numeric
data.
Appendix B contains keyboard layouts for languages other than U.S. English.
