The keyboard is divided into four sections:
Function keys are multipurpose keys and their function is controlled by the oper-
ating system.
Typewriter keys are similar to a standard typewriter. Their function is controlled
by the software.
Control keys move the cursor on the screen and do programmed control func-
tions. The movement and functions depend on the application used.
