Well... eight 'arrow' keys (I think, I'm not in front of it at the

Cool...

Hmmm... htis
one is not color, but there are a number of odd 'arrow' keys
on the keyboard that might suggest scanning about a larger than displayed
buffer...
One of these would probably have arrow keys for moving the cursor, in
the block up top with the function keys: arrows pointing up, down,
left, right, and up/left meaning "top of buffer". These move the
cursor on the screen. Shift modifies them: I think up, down, left,
and right become "scroll thataway" where the cursor stays put and the
window into the buffer moves; and shift+up/left is "bottom of buffer". There would also be "NEXT PAGE" and
"PREV PAGE" keys that let you
page through the buffer.
Hmmm... I'll look, but don't reall these...
If it's a graphics terminal (and has its original
keyboard), the
numeric pad off to the right has additional legends for its
manipulations of the graphics cursor.
I think it has its proper keyboard, but it has no numeric pad. Did note
an alternate numeric set in the alpha keys similar to some keypunch
machines...
Any
enlightenment you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
I tried trawling my inventory database for the manual, but no luck.
But I'll keep my eyes open as I dig through boxes.
