Introducing the NEC Versa 1-11
The keypad lets you type numbers and mathematical operands (+, –) as you would
on a calculator. The keypad is ideal for entering long lists of numbers.
When you press
Num Lock
again, the keys revert to their normal functions as
typewriter keys.
!
Typewriter keys — Typewriter keys (also called alphanumeric keys) are used to
enter text and characters. Keys with blue print on them behave differently when
combined with control keys or the
Fn
key.
!
Control keys —
Ctrl
,
Alt
,
Fn
, and
Shift
are controls used in conjunction with other
keys to change their functions. To use 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
. Key combinations work specific to the application
you are running.
!

where you want. On the screen, the cursor is a blinking underline, block, or vertical
bar depending on the application. The cursor indicates where the next text typed is
inserted.

fingertip over the VersaGlide to control the position of the cursor. Use the selection

VersaGlide” in Chapter 2 for information about customizing VersaGlide settings.
