Introducing the NEC Versa 1-11
The keypad lets you type numbers and mathematical operands (+, –) as you would
on a calculator. The keypad is ideal for entering long lists of numbers.
When you press
Num Lock
again, the keys revert to their normal functions as
typewriter keys.
!
Typewriter keys — Typewriter keys (also called alphanumeric keys) are used to
enter text and characters. Keys with blue print on them behave differently when
combined with control keys or the
Fn
key.
!
Control keys —
Ctrl
,
Alt
,
Fn
, and
Shift
are controls used in conjunction with other
keys to change their functions. To use control keys, press and hold the control key
while pressing another key. For example, “Press
Ctrl c
” means to hold down the
Ctrl
key and type the letter
c
. Key combinations work specific to the application
you are running.
!
Cursor Control keys — Cursor control keys let you position the cursor on the screen
where you want. On the screen, the cursor is a blinking underline, block, or vertical
bar depending on the application. The cursor indicates where the next text typed is
inserted.
!
NEC VersaGlide — works like a standard computer mouse. Simply move your
fingertip over the VersaGlide to control the position of the cursor. Use the selection
buttons below the VersaGlide to select menu items. See “Using the NEC
VersaGlide” in Chapter 2 for information about customizing VersaGlide settings.

pleasure.

computer. See Chapter 9, “Using Multimedia,” for details about recording.
