The IBM Personal Computer awaits your every command.
First, we must know how to tell it to do something. After
typing your answer to a question, you must press the
ENTER key (sometimes called the RETURN key). This key is
located on the right side of the keyboard. It looks like
the one pictured here.

Very Good! This introduction to the IBM Personal Computer will teach you some
of the fundamentals of your PC. First of all, let's look at the various parts
of the computer.

The computer itself is located in this cabinet. You may have one or two
disk drives installed in the right side of the front panel of your computer.
These disk drives are used to store and read information from diskettes.  We
will learn more about disk drives later.

it looks very similar to a standard typewriter keyboard, especially the

once. Notice that a lowercase "a" appears on the screen. Press the ENTER key
after you have typed an "a".

If you type in a letter or number by mistake, you can erase it by using the
-- key at the top of the keyboard. Each time you press this key, it erases
the character to the left of the blinking underline. (This blinking underline
is called the cursor and it tells you where you are typing on the screen).

.col 3
Now locate the two keys on either side of the keyboard which are gray, and
contain a picture of an arrow pointing up. These are "shift" keys, and are
used like the shift keys on a typewriter. When a shift key is held down, and
a letter key is pressed, an uppercase letter appears on the screen. Use the
shift to type an uppercase "A" by holding the shift key down, and pressing
the "A" key once.

The shift key is also used to type characters which appear as the top
character on keys such as the number keys at the top of the keyboard.
That is, a shift 1 key must be typed to get an "!".

Let's type something longer than one character...
