The keyboard is your primary means of giving your computer numbers
and words, and telling it what to do with them. The keyboard works much
like the keys on a typewriter, but computer keyboards have several
specialty keys. Most of today’s software packages have several standard
uses for the specialty keys. For example, in most software packages,
pressing the F1 key summons the online help feature.
The list on the next page explains the most important keys on the
keyboard.
