And, back then, we didn't have the capability to automatically generate, let alone easily manually maintain, model-specific key tables. in the even older days we didn't even have key tables - the bindings were hard-coded within each driver. I'm not sure where 2009 fit into that timeline. >For example, many European models never make it to North America.

I think (if my distant memory is at least close) that the Focus Blue was introduced in what today's terminology would call the 34d edition. >Our best bet would be to try and get manuals from different years and see when >the reference to the navrow keys disappears. Can you give me a lsit of the controls that that manual says the model with the navrow keys has? Also, how many text cells, and (if they're mentioned) how many status cells? -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
