---------- USING CASIO PROGRAM-LINK WITH THE KEYBOARD ----------

CASIO Program-Link is meant to be used with a mouse.
However, if you do not have a mouse, the following tips
may be helpful.

To use CASIO Program-Link with the keyboard, there is
one trick to remember.  If you switch from the File
Manager to another window, or have a selection or an
error dialog appear, you will generally not be able
to tab to the controls in the CASIO File Manager Window
after that.  If you ever find yourself in this position,
press ALT-A, then return, which will bring up the "About"
dialog box.  The press return to close it.
After that, you will be able to move around again.

The on-screen calculator is only usable with the mouse.
