HELP
The
Help key
,
located to the right
of
the DELETE
key,
is
a
program-controlled
key
that
can be
'programmed
t.o
provide user
assistance
while
a
program
is
being
run
.
NOTE:
The
international keyboards
have two
additional keys,
located
at the
SHIff
key
positions
.
CTRL
The CTRL (Control) key,
located
just
below the
TAB key, is
a
program-
controlled
key that
is
often
used
with other keys
to
perform
special
functions
.
CAPS LOCK
The
CAPS
LOCK key is
located
next
to
the
CTRL key. When the CAPS LOCK
key is
first pressed
a
light
on
that
key is
illuminated.
The
alphabetic
characters (A
through
Z)
are
displayed in upper
case as
long
as
the light
is on
.
However,
the
upper
characters on
the numeric
row at
the top
of
the typewriter
area
(!,",
#
through
/) are
not
affected
by the Caps Lock key.
To
type
these characters,
you

SHIFT Keys
There are two Shift keys,
located
on either
side
of
the bottom
row
of letters
(z,x,c, etc.)
.
These keys can perform
the
same function
as
the shift
keys
on a
standard typewriter-that
is,
depressing either Shift
key
simultaneously
with any
alphabetic
key
or with any key on
the top
row of
the typewriter
area
causes the
upper
character on
that

,
the
Shift keys
are often
used
with other
keys to perform special
functions.

two
ALT (Alternate) keys, located at
the
extreme
left
and right
sides
of
the
bottom
row of
the
keyboard. These
keys
are
also
often used with other keys
to
perform
special functions.
