Not all characters on a USA-type keyboard are supported in the BlueScale user
interface. If a character does not appear on the soft keyboard, then its use is not
supported.
When accessing the library using an external keyboard connected to the library, do
not use the Enter key on your keyboard when making selections in the BlueScale
user interface. Doing so may cause inconsistent behavior in the BlueScale interface.
