OPERATING YOUR COMPUTER
You do not need to know every key's function to
use your computer. In fact, many keys have differ-
ent functions, depending on what program you
run. In general, you use the keyboard like a stan-
dard typewriter's keyboard. You use the
ENTER
key
on the computer like the return key on a typewriter.
Press
BACKSPACE
to erase the previous character,
or press
DELETE
to erase the current character.
Then, type the correct character.
Your computer has some keys that are not on a
standard typewriter. These extra keys have special
purposes depending on which program you use.
For more information about these extra keys, see
"Using the Keyboard" in this manual.
You can use the DeskMate programs to easily
learn your way around the keyboard. DeskMate
can also show you how to store, copy, delete,
move, and print documents that you create. You
will enjoy exploring all the different ways that you
can use your computer.
USING THE DISKETTE DRIVE
You might want to use data or programs on diske-
ttes. If you want to use diskette data or programs,
or save data or programs on diskettes, insert a
diskette squarely into the drive slot as shown.
To remove the diskette from the drive, press the
eject button until the diskette pops out.
Be sure to handle diskettes carefully. A scratch,
small indentation, or dust can destroy data on a
diskette. To protect your diskettes (and the infor-
mation they contain) from damage, follow these
guidelines.
Never insert more than one diskette into a drive.
Do not use damaged diskettes.
