KEYBOARD
2.4 HUNTER's keyboard comprises 58 keys. Most are laid out in the
standard QWERTY positions, but there are a few non-standard keys
such as PWR, ESC and the cursor keys.

VER.V09F
When held down, the keys will auto-repeat at about 8 characters
per second.
POWER AND HELP
Used for switching HUNTER on and off.
NOTE: This key is generally used to ask for power, in which case
it operates just for power on/ off. If
it has been programmed
for HELP, it is necessary to press 'Shift Power' to turn HUNTER
off.
ENTER
The ENTER key is used for terminating input from the keyboard.
For certain inputs, replying to menus etc., the ENTER key is not
used as HUNTER will respond automatically to keyboard input.
NOTE: 'ENTER' is often called 'RETURN' in user programs. The
functions are identical.
SHIFr
This key accesses the legends on the upper half of the keys and
must be used in combination with another key. The keys A-Z
produce upper case with the shift key.
CURSOR KEYS
The cursor control keys perform a number of functions including
adjustment of viewing angle, moving the virtual screen window as
well as moving the cursor.
DELETE, BACKSPACE AND BACKARROW
Delete, backspace and backarrow keys within DEMOS and Basic all
perform the same function, i.e. deletes the character to the
left of the cursor. Some user programs in CP/M may use
backspace differently by not deleting the character, but only
moving the cursor back.
