Enter = Right Control (RCtrl)
Field Exit = Enter
Error Reset = Left Control (LCtrl)
Attn = Esc
Sys Req = Shift+Esc
End = End
Home = Home
Dup = Numpad *
Field - = Numpad –

Euro symbol = Alt+e

Again, if you wish to remap the keyboard to better suit your particular needs,
the keyboard mapping utility is to be found under Keyboard within the Minit
