Examples:

To put an (')accent on a character you first press the accent key. No

accent will b8' displayed yet. Then you press the character key of the letter

requiring the accent and it will appear on the screen, complete with accent.

To use the (')accent you press the accent key, simultaneously with the

SHIFT key.

To produce then accent on a character you press the accent key along

with the CODE key, then follow the same procedure again.

To produce the (") accent the same applies again with the only difference

that you now have to press the CODE and SHIFT keys, simultaneously

with the accent key.

These accents can only be used in combination with vowels.

The long, blank key at the bottom edge of the keyboard (between the

GRAPH and CODE keys) is referred to as the SPACE bar. When you

press it it creates an open space between. It is often given a special,

different function in the various ready-made programs.
