The next eight symbols are keyed with the same fingers as those on a flat keyboard. All eight
keys are activated by pressing the appropriate finger north. For this activity we'll enter the
symbols on the screen. So, turn on your PC, click on Start, Programs, and your Word
Processor. Activate the NAS (Numbers And Symbols). Press down on the well key with your
right thumb unit the system locks in the NAS mode. The light will be turned on at the NAS
Mode on indicator on your right DataHand unit. Note that some of the drill lines include
alphabetic copy, which means you’ll have to shift to the Normal Mode (flick upward with your
left thumb) and back again to the NAS Mode.
