The
Shift
and
Caps
Lock
Keys
There are
two
shift keys
on
the
keyboard, located
about
where
you
find them on a typewriter keyboard.
Use them
to
type
uppercase (capital)
letters
or
to
type
the symbol shown
in the upper position on the key
top
for all keys except the numeric
keypad on the right.
That's
just
as
you
would expect.
The Caps Lock key lets you
type
capital letters (only) until
you
press
[Is]]
it
again. Only the
letter
keys are
affected.
You stillltave
to
press one
of
the shift
keys
to
type
the symbols in
the
upper positions
of
the
number
keys
at the
top
of
the keyboard.
For
example,
you
must press the shift key
to
type a
#.
[ED +
[9
=#
Unlike a regular typewriter, pressing
one
of
the shift keys [ED does
not
get
you
out
of
Caps Lock mode. You
must
press the Caps Lock key again
to
type
lowercase letters. Or
you
press a shift
key momentarily,
to
type a lowercase
letter.
Remember
that
DOS will accept lowercase letters in all
commands and filenames;
so
you'll be using these shift
keys mostly for special symbols.
