If you explore the start menu in Windows 2000, you will notice a WinBook folder in the program groups. This folder holds your WinBook notebook Help file and possibly other files that contain information about your WinBook notebook. The WinBook notebook Help file contains the infor- mation in this manual, as well as other information to help you run your WinBook notebook. In Windows Me, the WinBook Help file is integrated into the Windows Help and Support Center on your system. Access it by Clicking Start/Help.

The Keyboard (Figure 1.8)

Your main interface with your computer will be your keyboard. If you are unfamiliar with the standard PC keyboard, some of its keys are explained in this section. The keyboard has all the standard computer typing keys and some control keys. If you are not familiar with the computer control keys, the major ones are discussed below.

The [Alt] and [Ctrl] keys, like the [Shift] key alter the function of the traditional typing keys and the function keys. Depending on the software you are using, the actual function of the [Alt] and [Ctrl] keys will vary. They might also be used in combination with each other and/ or with the [Shift] key to provide further possible combinations of functions with the typing keys. For example, the [Alt]+[Ctrl]+[Del] combination is used to close down an application in Windows that has “hung” or can be used to provide a warm reboot of the computer system.

The function keys (F1-F12) serve different purposes and carry out different tasks depending on the application you have running. They are often used in combination with control keys. You should check the documentation for your application, especially sections on keyboard shortcuts, for information about what the keys do in that application.
