Winbook X Series X2 - Manual (Page 23)

Your version of Windows also comes preloaded with software for online
service providers. You can double-click on the Online Services folder and
then double-click on an icon to activate the associated software.
If you explore the start menu in Windows 2000, you will notice a WinBook
folder in the program groups. This folder holds your WinBook notebook
Help file and possibly other files that contain information about your
WinBook notebook. The WinBook notebook Help file contains the infor-
mation in this manual, as well as other information to help you run your
WinBook notebook. In Windows Me, the WinBook Help file is integrated
into the Windows Help and Support Center on your system. Access it by
Clicking Start/Help.
The Keyboard (Figure 1.8)
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 computer 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 down an application in Windows 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.
