Cursor Keys
The cursor keys allow the user to move the cursor between fields and pages on a screen form.
The cursor must be positioned on a field before the user can change information in that field.
The backspace key is used to correct typing mistakes by backspacing and overstriking mistyped
characters.
Programmable Keys
The 513 BCT keyboard is equipped with eight programmable keys ( [F1] to [F8] ) located at the
top of the keyboard. Each key can be programmed by the user to perform a specific function.
