Sarah,
Are you discribing the PK QT? The layout of keys does not reflect what my
BNQT looks like.

Isaac, There are a number of extra keys on the qwerty keyboard including
the functionkey, main menu key, help key, control key, read key, and tilda
key, the arrow keys, backspace, and escape. The right shift is where you
expect to find the slash andor questionmark key and that key is out beyond
the up arrow to the right. If I was teaching someone the q t I'd show
them the "k" function at the main menu as this teaches the keys so they
can fish rather than being given a tuna sandwich. Two keys left of the
spacebar is the main menu key. tap it from anywhere and you're in the main
menu. Then use the "k" key and you can type any key and get its function.
The escape key is in the upper left corner next to the 1, and takes you
out of this keylearn mode.
You might want to put loc dots on the ESCAPE and Right Shift as reminders
they are possibly unexpected. The right shift is where a touchtypist goes
for the questionmark, and the ESCAPE where you're aiming for the 1 key so
it takes a bit of hand training.
The other thing you'll want right awayis the option combination which is
reached with the function key, the one with a dot just to the left of the
spacebar, and the "o". There are already dots on the 3, 7, 0, i, f, j,
and function keys.
Hope this helps. He looks smartest who knows where to find the answers.
