The
main keyboard (typewriter keyboard) conforms
to
ASCII standards and includes character
keys and control keys (such
as
the carriage return key and
the
break key).
The
numeric pad
is
for entering numeric data and
is
similar
to
that
of
an ordinary electronic
calculator.
The
ten
blue keys in the upper left are keys whose functions are defined
by
the user.
The four yellow keys in
the
upper
center are cursor control keys, and
the
four green keys
in
the
upper right are cassette tape deck control keys.
The functions
of
each element
of
the
keyboard are explained in the following pages.
