The alphanumeric keys (letters, numbers, and symbols) are primarily
used to enter data and commands. They usually function just like
similar keys on a typewriter. The [Shift], [Tab], [Backspace], and
[Caps Lock] keys also perform the same functions as their type­
writer counterparts. Most alphanumeric keys automatically repeat
when they are held down.
Certain keys have special control functions. These keys are [Alt],
[Ctrl], [Del], [End], [Esc), [Home], [Ins], [Num Lock], [Pg Dn],
[Pg Up], [PrtSc], and [Scroll Lock]. Although the functions of
these keys can vary depending on your applications program, the
following key combinations (keys pressed simultaneously) will
usually be in effect:
[Ctrl] [SJ
[Ctrl) [Num Lock]
[Ctrl] [Scroll Lock]
[Ctrl] [Alt] [Del]
+]
[Ctrl] [Alt] [keypad
[Ctrl] [Alt] [keypad-)
[Ctrl] [Alt][<]
>]
[Ctrl) [Alt) [
When a printer is connected to your system you can also use these
key combinations:
[Shift] [PrtSc]
[Ctrl) [PrtSc]
The four [Arrow] keys are generally used within an applications
program to move the cursor in the direction of their arrows (up,
down, left, or right). The cursor is a movable symbol on screen
that marks where the next action will take place.
