Insert
Command: ‘Ins’ or ‘Fn’ + ‘M’
The Ins key is used in editing and word processing programs. It inserts material into a text
passage so that it overwrites text to the right of the insertion point. Some software packages
under Windows assign other functions to this key.
Delete
Command: ‘Del’ or ‘Fn’ + ‘>’
The Del key deletes text or graphics in a wide variety of software programs.
Embedded Numeric Keypad
Command: ‘NumLock’
This turns on the embedded keypad, which replicates the functions of the numeric keypad on an
extended keyboard. The assignment for each function is printed on the lower right of the key.
The cursor control functions are printed on the front faces of the keys.
SUSPEND-TO-DISK – USING THE PHDISK UTILITY
The PHDisk utility creates a dedicated partition on your hard disk drive that the Suspend-To-
Disk feature uses to store the system state when you suspend the system to disk. There is a copy
of PHDISK.EXE on your hard drive in the \DRIVERS\PHOENIX directory. Do not run
PHDISK.EXE on a pre-loaded hard disk drive before you back it up, or you will end up erasing
the whole drive! As noted earlier, all pre-loaded drives come with a Suspend-To-Disk partition
large enough for a system with up to 8MB of memory. If you install more than 8MB in your
system you must increase the size of the dedicated partition. In doing this, you eliminate the old
partition and erase the entire hard disk. Therefore, before you use the program, you must back up
the entire hard disk drive. After you create a new partition you can restore your system
configuration from the backup.
You can back up your hard disk either by copying your data to floppy disks, to another computer
on a network, or to a stand-alone desktop PC. We recommend using Microsoft’s backup program
that comes with DOS.
Here’s a sample of the procedure for using PHDisk:
1. Back up the hard disk
Back up all your files onto the media of your choice. You start the backup program by typing
“MSBACKUP” at the DOS prompt and pressing ‘Enter’. From there on, just follow the
programs on-screen instructions. You can read about how to use the program in the DOS User’s
Manual, too.
2. Make a PHDisk bootable floppy disk
After each of the following commands, press the “Enter” key.
