Everything in Computer Works` can be operated using either a mouse or the keyboard. When you use the keyboard, a highlight surrounds the currently active item. You can move this highlight using the arrow keys. Once you have the proper item highlighted, you can press the <Enter> key or <Space bar> to select it. To scroll through any text in the text box at the bottom, use the <Pg Up>/<Pg Down> keys.
The menu options are also available from the keyboard. To activate the menus, press the <Alt> key and the first letter of one of the menus, <Alt-F> for example. You can then navigate using the arrow keys and make your selection with <Enter>. You can also use "hotkeys" to call up these functions. These keys are listed to the right of the menu items when the menus are pulled down.
