Jerome Fine replies:

While I was in the basement this morning trying for the
99th time to recover some more bad blocks from an
RK05 pack, I noticed an LK401 keyboard that I
acquired about two years ago when I also acquired
some BA23 boxes that were about to be tossed as well.

My eye sight may be failing, but for the FIRST time, I just
noticed that the LK401 keyboard has TWO ALT KEYS!!!
WHAT are they doing there and WHAT are they used for?
And what function do they have?????? Anyone, PLEASE.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
