Getting to Know Your NEC Versa 2000 1-5
Typewriter keys
— The typewriter keys (also called alphanumeric keys)
are used almost exactly as on a typewriter. Those that behave differently do
so when combined with control keys or function keys.
Cursor control keys
— Cursor control keys let you position the cursor on
the screen wherever you want. On the screen, the cursor is a blinking under-
line, block or pointer, depending on the application. It indicates where the
next text type is inserted.
Numeric keypad
— Pressing the
Num Lock
on the keyboard activates the
numeric keypad when an external keyboard is not connected. The numeric
keys are printed in blue. The keypad lets you type numbers and mathemati-
cal operands (+, -) as you would on a calculator. The keypad is ideal for
entering long lists of numbers.
Control keys
— Cursor control keys include
Ctrl
,
Alt
,
Fn
, and
Shift
. They
are used in conjunction with other keys to change their functions. To use
these control keys, press and hold the control key while pressing another
key. For example, “
press Ctrl C
” means to hold down the
Ctrl
key and type
the letter
c.
How the key combination works depends on the applications
you are running. Other control keys include
Num Lock
,
Scroll Lock
, and
Ins
.
NEC VersaGlide
This is the mechanism by which you control the pointer on the screen. It
serves the same function as the mouse or trackball on other systems. For
more information on the VersaGlide, see “Learning to Use the Hardware.”
