4  Extra Keys on Type 4 Keyboards

The following keys are only found on the right hand keypad of Sun type 4
keyboards (fitted by default to SPARCstations).

    | WORD LEFT       | WORD   |        |
    |                 | RIGHT  |        |
    +-----------------+--------+--------+


Also, there is a key marked "Help" at the bottom of the left hand
keypad. This executes <ENTER> HKEYS. The sequence <ESC> <Help> executes
<ENTER> HKEY.

The extra function keys F10, F11, and F12 are unused.
    (Actually, F11 and F12, are identical in function to L1 and L2).
