THE SHIFT KEYS
SHIFT keys
On the lower left and lower right sides of the
keyboard, locatethe two keys marked SHIFT.
Like the ALPHA LOCK key, the SHIFT keys are
used to type uppercase letters. The SHIFT keys
have an additional function, however—one
which the ALPHA LOCK does not perform: for
every key on the keyboard which has two sym
bols on it (such as the key with the number 4
and the dollarsign), the SHIFT key gives you ac
cess to the upper symbol.
