itself, but it is often used with other keys to give
ThinkTank commands. For example, you give the com-
mand CTRL—D, which is used to delete text in Think—
Tank’s text editor, by holding down the CTRL key and
pressing D. You must press the CTRL key first and
must not release it before pressing D. The CTRL key
is sometimes abbreviated by the caret ("^“) symbol,
as in ^D.
* SHIFT: As on a typewriter, some Apple keys have two
characters printed on them, like “," (comma) and "<"
(less than) at the bottom right. You can enter the
lower character (",”) simply by pressing the key, or
the upper character (‘<“) by pressing it while hold-
ing down either SHIFT key.
On the Apple IIe and Apple III, you can hold down
the SHIFT key to capitalize letters that would other-
wise be entered in lowercase. The Apple II SHIFT
key has no effect on letters. All letters are en-
tered and displayed in uppercase regardless of
whether you press SHIFT.
