associated software. The folder also includes an icon where you can find information about the term of

your WinBook XP5 Pro. The WinBook XP5 Pro Help file contains the information in this manual, as
well as other information to help you run your WinBook XP5 Pro.
The Keyboard
Your main interface with your computer will be your keyboard. If you are unfamiliar with the standard
PC keyboard, some of its keys are explained in this section. The keyboard has all the standard
computing typing keys and some control keys. If you are not familiar with the computer control keys,
the major ones are discussed below.
The [Alt] and [Ctrl] keys, like the [Shift] key alter the function of the traditional typing keys and the
function keys. Depending on the software you are using, the actual function of the [Alt] and [Ctrl]
keys will vary. They might also be used in combination with each other and/or with the [Shift] key to
provide further possible combinations of functions with the typing keys. For example, the [Alt]+[Ctrl]
+[Del] combination is used to close [XP5 Pro 1.11] down an application in Windows 95 that has
"hung" or can be used to provide a warm reboot of the computer system.
The function keys (F1-F12) serve different purposes and carry out different tasks depending on the
application you have running. They are often used in combination with control keys. You should
check the documentation for your application, especially sections on keyboard shortcuts, for
information about what the keys do in that application.
The cursor keys, the [Pg Up] and [Pg Dn] keys, and the Home ([Fn]+[Pg Up]) and End ([Fn]+[Pg
Dn]) keys, which are all located in the lower right corner of your keyboard, allow you move the active
cursor of the computer to various locations on the screen or within the document. The [Ins] [XP5 Pro
1.12] and [Del] keys at the upper right corner of your keyboard allow you to insert and delete
characters.
Your computer also has an embedded numeric keypad. This numeric keypad is printed in green on the
keyboard. If the NumLock ([Fn]+[Ins]) is engaged, the pad will allow you to type numbers as you
would on a 10-key pad. If the NumLock is not engaged, the keys perform their normal alphanumeric
function.
Your keyboard also has three Windows 95 keys: two Start keys (these bear the Windows logo), which
allow you to pull up the Start menu, and one Menu key (which looks like a pull-down menu), which
pulls up the popup menu in programs that are Windows 95 compatible.
Keyboard System Controls
In addition to its function as a normal keyboard, your keyboard also contains controls for various
aspects of your WinBook XP5 Pro, including the intensity of the LCD screen. These controls appear
