Tutorial
Using
the
Keyboard
The Tandy
1000
keyboard is designed for comfort and
ease
of use.
Key placement is similar to that of
a
typewriter. The keyboard is
detached
so
you can position it on your lap or desktop. On
a
desktop,
you
can
use
the keyboard’s flip-down legs to position it at
a
slight
angle to the desk surface. See the following list of special keys and
their uses.
(BACKSPACE)-Moves the cursor back over the previous character,
erasing it.
(BREAK)-Discontinues current operation and returns to the
previous level of operation.
iCAps-Locks the alphabet keys into either upper or lower case.
(ENTER]-Moves the cursor to the beginning
of
the next line. It also
executes
a
command or program.
EEDI-Toggles a pause in computer operation
on
and off.
iNUM
LOCK]-Locks and unlocks the numeric keypad. When the
NUM LOCK function is on, each key produces the number shown
on the lower half of the key. When NUM LOCK is off, each key pro-
duces the function or symbol shown on the upper half of the key.
isHIFTl
(RNTI-Prints whatever is currently displayed
on
the
screen.
(SHIFT)-Operates the same as the SHIFT key of
a
typewriter.
Also, produces the function or symbol on the upper half
of
the
numeric pad keys (only when NUM LOCK is on).
Some keys have
a
function only when you
are
using an application
program. If
so,
refer to your application manual for special uses.
