Overlay
Type the characters and do the operations printed in brown
on the overlay when the keyboard is in brown shift
[BROWN] mode. Do the operations printed in gold on the
overlay when the keyboard is in gold shift [GOLD] mode.
Figure 5-1 shows that [BROWN] is to the left and [GOLD]
is to the right. Characters printed on the overlay have the
same relative relationship; the character or operation above
a key and to the left indicates brown shift mode, and the
operation above a key and to the right indicates gold shift
mode. An annunciator along the right side of the display
shows the current mode.
You can also use the cursor control key in the upper right
corner of the keyboard in combination with the brown and
gold shift modes for local windowing.
The following chart lists radio terminal keys, and their col-
ors.
