CHAPTER3
THE KEYBOARD
It is important that you familiarise yourself with the keyboard of your computer. Do not hesitate
to "play" with it before you start working with it
seriously.
You will find that the keys respond effortlessly. If you keep a key depressed longer than
necessary, you will see that it creates the same effect as when you keep tapping that key
repeatedly.
The keyboard is divided into four groups of keys:
CD
Five function keys along with "STOP" and "SELECT".
®Three
"command
keys":
"CLR/HOME", "INS", and "DEL!'.
@
Cursor control keys.
©Standard
typewriter keys along with special keys such as: "ESC"- "TAB", "CTRL!', etc.
The following function description of the
various
keys applies to their functions with
MSX-BASIC. When
running
commercial programs these functions may be different; consult
the instructions you
receive
with those
programs.
CD
The function keys
The function keys are
pre-programmed
to standard functions for
MSX-BASIC.
Those standard
functions are indicated at the bottom
of
your
screen,
following the key indicators F1 to F5.
When you press the SHIFT key you will see the pre-programmed function F6 to F10 for the
same keys when pressing the SHIFT
key. Example:
when pressing the SHIFT
key and
F1
simultaneously the F6 function is
executed, etc.
These function keys are programmable to different functions (See your MSX-BASIC manual).
