When using the keyboard, keep the following points
in
mind:
• Keys can be program-controlled-that is, their use can
be
defined by
the software being used (e.
g.,
an
application program, such
as
a word
processor or spreadsheet). For specific informatiolJ on the program
control
of
keys, refer to the manual for the particular software
program you are using.
• The keys on the keyboard usually repeat for
as
long
as
they are held
down.
• You cannot interchange the numeral 0 and the upper case letter
0 , or
the numeral I and the lower case letter
I.
•
In
some cases several keys may be used together, either simulta-
neously or
in
a special sequence.
You can use the keyboard
as
well
as
the mouse
to
move around the screen and
select icons, gadgets, etc.
In
many programs you use the keyboard
to
enter
information. You can use the keys
to
tell the computer what you want
it
to do,
and to reply to messages or questions the computer displays on the screen. these
messages and questions are sometimes called "screen prompts" or simply
"prompts
" .
