On the subject of cursor key arrangement:

I work with an intel iPDS development system.
Though its hardware designers deserve the death penalty
for crimes against humanity, it has an extremely
convenient cursor-key arrangement:
      ____
     |    |      The center "home" key acts as an "amplified"
     |  ^ |      version of the last-used cursor key:
 ____|____|____   Used after an "up(down)" cursor,
|    |    |    |  it means,"scroll up(down) one page".
|  < |HOME| >  |  After a "left(right)" cursor, it means,
|____|____|____| "go to end(beginning) of line".
     |    |
     |  V |       A good place/use for the "help" key, no?
     |____|

Also, I have to know:  The so-called "pencil holder" on the
A1000's keyboard is actually a place to put removable printed
labels that a software vendor might supply to show what the
"function" keys do,  isn't it?

Disjointedly,
