Les,It's easy to assume that the keys will work like a full QWERTY keyboard, and that assumption can trip you up. For example, I tried to use Alt+F4 to close an application, which doesn't work with the docking station.

Hi Steve,In retrospect, probably no reason, just thought the entire six pack would beemulated.

Five of the numpad 6 pack keys are emulated, but I saw no reference to the insertkey.Thanks.

When that key is pressed, the left and right arrows become Home and End respectively, and the up and down arrows become Pgup and PGdn respectively. The backspace key becomes a delete key. I don't think any other keys are affected by this modifier.

I have some questions though that I didn't find answered in the help documentation. 1. How do you tell when the docking station is fully charged, since it only seems to give a voltage value, rather than percent of charge? 2. While in key learn mode, all keys give responses but the key between the left control and the left alt keys when pressed alone. By doing some trial and error checking, I managed to figure it is some kind of modifier key because holding it while pressing the cursor keys or the back space key changes their announced functions. Since the docking station has shift, control, and alt keys, I assume this non identified key is a multi modifier key of some kind, like control-alt or such. If true, what exact key codes does it generate? 3. In searching through both the text daisy and audio tutorial manuals I find very little about the docking station. Will this lack of docking station help be resolved in future updates? Thanks Richard Ehrler If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
