SECTION 4 MASTERING THE PUNCTUATION, SYMBOL AND FUNCTION KEYS

U800002, Rev. 1.2, October, 2002

Introduction

The Mastery Learning Guides for the DataHand System covering the Mouse, Number, and

Alphabetic Modes already introduced have several frequently used punctuation and function

keys. This Guide presents the remainder of the punctuation and function keys as well as the

symbol keys. The first group of keys introduced are those that are in the same location no

matter which mode has been selected. The order of the remainder of the keys presented is by

mode: Mouse, NAS, and Normal.

After going through the material introducing these keys, it would be a good idea to review

those keys that are commonly used in your applications. There are keys being introduced that

you may not use. However, knowing what these keys do and where they are located in terms of

which finger/thumb activates them, reinforces DataHand's unique feature of total keyboard

control including the mouse and function keys without having to take the hands off the

keyboard.

Getting Ready

Before turning on your PC, read through Activity 1 and practice the keying motion for each of

the keys presented. After all the punctuation, symbol, and function keys have been presented,

you will have an opportunity to use those keys that are used frequently in your work.
