BENQ MONITOR: Of the 6 buttons in front, the only one I know is

MICROSOFT KEYBOARD: What is "F Lock?" What is the "Zoom" switch for?
There are 4 bulbs, under each of which is an "A" inside a box, an "F"
inside a box, a downpointing arrow, and a "1" inside a box. There are
buttons for sound, and the "u" key and "i" key say "Underln" and
"Italic" respectively. Other words are written on some of the other
keys too. Mary

MS mice software / help etc on the CD supplied or download and install
the drivers have the help as well.

Dual function, wheel scrolls and pressing allows a third user
programmable function.

Model? D/L the manual from the manufacturer.
The usual sort of things are brightness, menu , select , exit and auto.

>MICROSOFT KEYBOARD: What is "F Lock?" What is the "Zoom" switch for?

Which model?

The traditional function keys F1-F12 are used by different apps , for
example F1 opens MS Help. Newer keyboards replaced the Fnumber label on
top of the keys by internet . multimedia functions. If you want the
original Fnumber function press FLock, there should be a LED that shows
if the Flock is on or off.

When on the F1-F12 is active, when off the newer functions on the key
tops are active.

>There are 4 bulbs, under each of which is an "A" inside a box, an "F"

The A is CAPS LOCK?

>inside a box, a downpointing arrow, and a "1" inside a box. There are

FLock see above.

The 1 is number lock for the keypad on the right side of the keyboard
and the arrow is the odd one, not used much it's scroll lock.

>buttons for sound, and the "u" key and "i" key say "Underln" and
>"Italic" respectively. Other words are written on some of the other

Remember you didn't give the model / type of monitor or keyboard.

Most likely, that's what I thought, without checking headers it just
read as a troll.

Sometimes I can't be bothered to check.

They do. All the answers are there somewhere. Have a look under 'help'
section in the various programs. Have a look at help and support if
available. Open mouse from control panel and look at the features. Same with
keyboard. The more you poke about - the more you will learn.

Nope - 'doin' a neville' is more like sticking a fork in a power outlet...

Hey, I did that once. Of course, I was only two years old at the time,
but it left a lasting impression on me.
