Using the Keyboard

Your keyboard is very similar to a typewriter's, but the keyboard has
additional keys that perform specific computer-related tasks.

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.
The Print Screen key takes an electronic snapshot of the screen and
places it in the Windows Clipboard. You can then paste the screen shot
into a document and print it.
