Keyboard Keys
The function keys perform editing functions in MS-DOS (see the MS-DOS User's Guide
and Reference supplied with your computer). Applications programs use the function
keys for various purposes; see your application program documentation.
Note: Above the function keys is a slot to hold the furnished blank template where you
can write the specific functions of the keys in your application program.
Enter
The Enter key is generally used to end a line or menu entry and move to the next one.
This key is also called the Return key by some application programs.
Shift
The TravelMate 3000 WinSX provides two identical Shift keys. Pressing any
alphanumeric key while you press and hold the Shift key generates that key's uppercase
character or the symbol at the top of two-character keys. When the Caps Lock key
function is on, the Shift keys work in reverse, generating a lowercase character.
Caps Lock
The Caps Lock key makes all alphabet letters you type uppercase. It is a toggle key;
pressing it once turns it on and pressing it again turns it off. This key has no effect on
numeric characters or symbols. When the Caps Lock function is on, the Caps Lock
indicator fight comes on.
Tab
With most applications the Tab key works like the tab key on a regular typewriter,
moving the cursor to the next preset tab position. Pressing the Shift-Tab keys causes the
cursor to move left to the previous preset tab position.
