                           KEYBOARD DIFFERENCES

This list contains only the differences that are not obvious. It does not
contain differences where the value of a key has changed but is not 
labeled.  For example, without 'NUM LOCK' on, the '7 HOME' key returns '\'.
'HOME' and '\' are available and labeled on both computer keyboards, so it 
is not on the list.

Programs that require one of these special keys are usually looking for 
that key's Scan Code or ASCII Code. So, when running IBM PC software on a 
Tandy 1000, or vice versa, and you need one of these special keys, try both
key equivalents. Chances are one will work.
