That would make it the same as CTRL-S. Why would there be a led for it on
the keyboard if that was the use for it? It has to be the same as NUM and
CAPS lock.
IIRC you can use it in some programs with the arrow-keys to get other
reults than if it wasn't pressed (before), Lynx and Arachne comes to mind...
Actually Pippi I think you've been way to fast when hitting the key. You've
probably hit the "Pause" key (more often used with CTRL to BREAK a program).
Actually with only limited knowledge of any programing language you can try
if it gives any diffrent results on the arrows.
Nowdays I think the key is only there because it once was a key at that place.
