Laser 128 - Typewriter Keys

THE KEYBOARD
4.1 Typewriter keys
These are the keys which you can find on
the keyboard of a typewriter. They include
the alphab~tic and punctuational keys, the
"SHIFT" keys, the "CAPS LOCK" key, the
"TAB" key and the "DELETE" key. The
arrangement of these keys resembles that of
a typewriter so that your typing skills can be
applied on the computer.
There are two possible layouts for the
typewriter keys, selected by the STD/ ALT
keyboard switch located on the back panel
of the computer . When the switch is thrown
to the "STD" position, you get the standard
"QWERTY" layout shown in Figure 4-1.
