Softkeys
The softkeys consist of 8 keys each on the keyboard and the
display.
You will most likely use these keys in conjunction with an
application software program, a utility program (such as
initializing media), or as typing aids; these are known as
user-defined softkeys. Pressing each key runs a pre-defined
program or routine stored in the computer memory.
User Defined Softkeys
The softkeys located on the display are numbered from 1 through
8. The softkeys on the keyboard contain the sets 9-16 and 17-24.
Softkeys 9-16 are accessed by pressing the appropriate key on the
keyboard; softkeys 17-24 are accessed by pressing the SHIFT
key and the appropriate key on the keyboard.
When softkeys 1-8 are defined, their definitions appear on the
display. This reduces the amount of lines the screen can hold
from 24 to 21. The definitions for softkeys 9-24 are not shown
on the display.
Below is an example of softkey labels on the display screen.
To learn more about using softkeys as typing aids, you should
look at the appendix titled "Using Softkeys as Typing Aids".
