Using the Keyboard
Although the keyboard on the ActionNote has only 84 keys
(85 on the international version), its still provides all the functions
of a full-size (102-key) keyboard. For example, a full-size keybard
has a separate numeric keypad you can use for both numberic entry
and cursor control. The ActicnNote has an embedded numeric
keypad that you access using the Fn and Shift keys in the same
way you use the Shift key to enter uppercase characters. (Using
the embedded numberic keypad is described later in this section.)
Note
The keyboard on the ActionNote is available with different
layouts for different languages. Special keyboards are available
in some countries. Additionally, you can use MS-DOS to
reassign the layout of your keyboard to duplicate that of
another country. See your MS-DOS manual for more
information.
This section describes how to use the Fn, F11, and F12 keys and
the embedded numberic keypad on your keyboard.
Using Fn, F11, and F12
The Fn key activates the F11 and F12 keys and controls functions
on the embedded numberic keypad. The F11 and F12 keys perform
special functions within application programs. You activate these
keys by using Fn with the F1 and F2 keys. Hold down Fn and
press F1 to produce F11; hold down Fn and press F2 to produce
F12.
