	to perform mathematical calculations such as

	you must press the Num Lock key to activate the
	numeric keypad. (When you do so, the Num Lock
	light will be on.)

	Down keys).

	to make corrections in your documents.
Function keys	The twelve function keys along the top of the
	keyboard are used to perform designated tasks.
	For example, in many applications, F1 is the Help
	key. The task associated with each function key
	may vary from one application to the next.
