• Disk Drives — PCs come in several basic types, such as:
— Single floppy disk, no hard disk — This type PC is the most basic config-
uration. The PC has a single floppy disk drive, with no hard (fixed) disk.
The floppy drive is referred to as drive A:.
— Dual floppy disk, no hard disk — This type PC is identified by the two
floppy disk drives installed. One floppy drive is referred to as drive A:.
The second is referred to as drive B:.
— Single floppy disk with hard disk — This type PC has a single floppy disk
drive and a hard disk, which can typically store 10 or more megabytes of
data. The single floppy disk drive is referred to as drive A:, and the hard
disk is usually referred to as drive C:.
Other combinations of floppy and hard drives are possible, but all that is required is a
single floppy drive as a minimum. The procedures in this manual for installing a new
generic program indicate using drive A.
Monitor
The monitor, sometimes called a display screen, may be either monochrome or color.
The higher the resolution, the better the monitor.
Keyboard
The keyboard is used to enter commands. This section reviews some of the features
of the keyboard and points out some of the special keys.
The keyboard is divided into three different sections:
•
Typewriter section
— This area has the alphanumeric keys that resemble
the layout of a typewriter. In particular, you should locate the ENTER key
(sometimes referred to as RETURN). This key is located on the right side
of the typewriter section. It may have the word ENTER or RETURN
printed on the key or a bent arrow. When you are asked to select
<ENTER>, you should momentarily depress that key, or equivalent.
•
Function Keys
— The keyboard normally has 10 or 12 function keys.
These keys can be set up (programmed) to perform different functions.
Refer to your PC documentation to determine how to setup these keys.

Special Keys

preted differently by various software packages. Locate the CANCEL or
DELETE key.
