Differences in the KEYBOARD

The Sun keyboard can take a little getting used to at first.  Here are
some important things to note:

	o  The key on the left labeled "Alt", the two "black diamond"
		keys, and the key labeled "Compose" with a dot on it,
		can all be used as "Meta" keys.

	o The key labeled "BackSpace" should be used for deleting
		characters.

	o The "F11" key will not work as an "Escape" key, since this
		is not a DEC keyboard.  You can use the key on the
		left labeled "Esc".

	o The " ~ " is on the right, above the "BackSpace" key.

	o The " | " is also on the right, next to the " ~ ".
