HP 95LX - Looking at the Keyboard

Looking at the Keyboard
The HP 95LX keyboard is not the standard PC keyboard, but it’s probably more
convenient. Take a look:
Character Keys
¢ The alphabet keys are arranged in the standard q w e r t y format.
* The gold shift key (©) and the special character key (CHAR) give you access
to special punctuation, international, and symbolic characters (summa-
rized on pages 140-142). These keys are “sticky” keys: once you press (<),,
the next key you press will produce the shifted character. Unlike a
typewriter or standard keyboard, you don’t have to hold down (&) or
while you press other alphabet keys.
* The and (5) characters (bottom row) are given their own keys because of
their common use in Lotus functions and formulae.
Cursor Keys
* Above the numeric pad are the cursor keys: («,(»), (), (a), (HOME), END), DN),
and UP). Use the gold shift key (©) to get the gold-printed, “shifted”
versions of the four arrow keys. The tab ()) and back-tab (4) keys are also
cursor keys, but tab is actually a character that you can insert into text.
Calculator/Numeric Keys
* Thereisaverynormal-looking numeric pad to the right oftheqw erty keys.
* Thebottomrow oflettersontheqwertykeyboard (and theletter(L)) behave
differently when the calculator (&)) application is active. These functions
(),[x),XzY),R¥), (LAST), (STO),[Rc)and are printed in white—not gold like
the shifted functions—because they're active only in one application.
