be accessed by first pressing and holding the function key while pressing a key with a colored command.

be assigned to this key.

hide the TV display when using TV output, such as in between presentations.

will then disconnect the terminal from the connected application.

the LPT1 port. In Windows, this will capture your screen into memory.
