Description
Contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use the
numeric keypad area to type numbers or to perform
mathematical calculations such as addition and
subtraction. Note that you must press the Num Lock key
to activate the numeric keypad. (When you do so, the
Num Lock light will be on.)
Several keys are devoted to moving the cursor on the
screen.
The Insert, Back Space, and Delete keys enable you to
make corrections in your documents.
The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard
are used to perform designated tasks. For example, in
many applications, F1 is the Help key. The task associated
with each function key may vary from one application to
the next.
The Esc (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.
