1. What do the keys on the infrared keyboard do? See the tips below for details on the cmd, alt, and edit keys. As for the other special keys, here's what they do:
2. Is there a Stop button to keep a Web page from loading? There isn't a Stop button, but if you press the Back key, that usually cuts the connection and brings you back to your current page. You can use a wired, PC keyboard with the WebTV Classic terminal, but not with the WebTV Plus receiver. The Classic has a keyboard port in the back, allowing you to plug in a wired keyboard. You need to use a PS/2, type-A, 6-pin keyboard. These should be readily available at computer stores. Then all you need to do is plug the cable into the keyboard port. It's the small, round socket near the phone jack. Once it's plugged in, you can use it just as you would the infrared keyboard. The only difference is the F keys, which are used for special WebTV commands:
For details on what each of these features do, look above at Tip #1. 4. What does the cmd button do? The cmd (command) button is used with other buttons on the keyboard

perform the following functions:
5. What does the alt button do? The alt button on the keyboard is used to create special text
characters. This is done by holding the alt key while you press
another key on the keyboard. Here is a list of what each key does when
pressed along with alt:
6. What does the edit button do? The infamous edit button performs one specific task. It is used when filling out forms or on any screen where you are entering text into different fields. After you have finished entering text into all the entries of a form, the arrow keys on the keyboard will move the yellow selection box around the screen, from field to field, but they will not move the cursor around within each field. This is where the edit key comes in. Go to a text-entry field, press edit, and the text cursor will activate within the box, letting you use the arrow keys to move around within the previously-entered text. 7. What is that little red dot that sometimes appears in the title bar on the bottom of the screen? Whenever you press the caps lock button, that red dot will appear. This is just a reminder that the button has been activated. Leaving the caps lock button on after you've stopped using the keyboard could drain the batteries.
