Televideo Personal Terminal?

  The status line on the display says that the four right hand functions
keys are L1, L2, L3 and L4. Any idea what that means? I've tried them with
shift, Control and various other combinations and haven't gotten them to do
anything. I did find that Shift Break or something like that would bring up
a calculator function. Also do you know how to take it off-line? There is
an Off-linekey in the upper left corner but it doesn't seem to do anything.
 Do you still have one of them around? I'd like to get someone to open
there's up and see which way the Molex connectors are plugged in. They're
not marked and I'm not certain that I have them in properly. Particularly
the two on the left. One of them is a long connector but only uses a single
contact on one end. The other connector is shorter but they may be flipped
end for end or the two connectors may be reversed. There are no keys or
markings for any of the connectors.
