Keys	Descriptions
Print Screen key	The Print Screen key takes an electronic snapshot of the
	screen and places it in the Windows Clipboard. You can
	then paste the screen shot into a document and print it.
Operator keys	Several keys are always used with at least one other key:
	Ctrl, Alt, and Shift. When held down with another key,
	the Ctrl (Control) and Alt (Alternate) keys offer another
	way to give commands. For example, in many
	applications, instead of choosing the Save command from
	a menu, you can hold down Ctrl and press S (referred to
	as Ctrl+S). The Shift key operates the same way as on a
	typewriter; it is used to produce capital letters or special
	symbols such as @ and $.
Windows 98 key	The key with the Windows logo displays the Windows 98
	Start menu; it is the equivalent of clicking the Start button
	on the task bar. See “Combinations and Functions with
	the Windows 98 Key” on page 18.
Fn key	The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to
	issue commands. The Fn keys at the left and right sides
	both work the same. See “Combinations and Functions
	with the Fn Key” on page 20.
Applications key	The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of
	context-sensitive choices; pressing this key is the
	equivalent of clicking the right mouse button.
