Soft keys
Thekeys in the typewriter area are very similartothose of
an ordinary typewriter, and are used in the same way. The
locationof the particularkeys will vary a bit accordingto
various national standards.
The keys in the cursor control
and tabulationarea are used
to move the cursor on the screen, indicating the writing
position.
Thekeys in the numeric pad function like the numeric
keys in the typewriter area
- except that the CAPS key has
no effect.
The soft key concept is new for
NOTIS terminals. These
are eight distinct keys (PI-P8), each with several
functions. The use of soft keys limits the number of keys
needed, thereby reducing the size of the keyboard. The
soft keys are described briefly in this part of the guide and
more extensively in part 3.The current soft key functions
are shown at the bottom of your screen.
Keyboard indicator If the power ison and the terminal isworking properly,
the keyboard indicator lights up green. If
an error occurs
in the terminal, or in its link with the host computer, the
indicator light
will be red.
