Texas Instruments 3000 - Manual (Page 31)

Keyboard Keys
The function keys perform editing functions in MS-DOS (see the MS-DOS User's Manual
supplied with your computer). Applications programs use the function keys for various
purposes; see your application program documentation.
Note: Above the function keys is a slot to hold the furnished blank template where you
can write the specific functions of the keys in your application program.
Enter
The Enter key is generally used to end a fine or menu entry and move to the next one.
This key is also called the Return key by some application programs.
Shift
The TravelMate 3000 provides two identical Shift keys. Pressing any alphanumeric key
while you press and hold the Shift key generates that key's uppercase character or the
symbol at the top of two-character keys. When the Caps Lock key function is on, the
Shift keys work in reverse, generating a lowercase character.
CapsLock
The Caps Lock key makes all alphabet letters you type uppercase. It is a toggle key;
pressing it once turns it on and pressing it again turns it off. This key has no effect on
numeric characters or symbols. When the Caps Lock function is on, the Caps Lock
indicator light comes on.
Tab
With most applications the Tab key works like the tab key on a regular typewriter,
moving the cursor to the next preset tab position. Pressing the Shift-Tab keys causes the
cursor to move left to the previous preset tab position.
