Understanding the Color Keys
The color keys (red, green, yellow,

listed above only for the book de-
scribed in this User’s Guide.
Other books have their own color
key functions, which are labelled on
their cartridges or on the BOOK-
MAN keyboard. For more informa-
tion, read “Using the Color Keys.”
