The Keyboard
The keyboard is used to type instructions and enter information into
the computer. The keyboard supplied with your system is a
Windows 95 105-key keyboard (see page 79 for pin-out of
connector).
You can adjust the keyboard to two different working positions
using the fold-away legs on the underside of the keyboard.
The Keys
The keys on the keyboard are grouped together into four main
areas:
• typewriter-like keys
• function keys
• numeric keypad
• special keypads
The following sections outline the most common key actions. The
action of any of the keys can be changed by the program you are
running. For example, most programs use the alphabetic keys to
produce letters. Some games programs use alphabetic keys for
other purposes, such as controlling the movements and actions of
objects on the screen.
The three lights on the right-hand side show the status of the
<Num Lock>, <Caps Lock> and <Scroll Lock> keys. See later for
more information on these keys.
