Usage Notes:
A real minitel terminal contains nine special keys (called function
keys) that are not on the PC keyboard. The nine special keys are
labelled INDEX, CANCEL, PREVIOUS, REPEAT, GUIDE, CORRECTION, NEXT,
SEND and LOCAL/LINE. Since these keys are not available on the PC
keyboard, the function keys on the PC keyboard (labelled F1 to F9)
are used as a replacement. Some of the minitel special keys have more
than one replacement on the PC keyboard. For example if an
application asks you to press the SEND key you can either press F8 or
the ENTER key. The following table shows the minitel
function keys and their equivalents on the PC keyboard.
English Minitel French Minitel
Key Labeling PC Equivalent(s) Key Labeling
INDEX F1 or HOME SOMMAIRE
CANCEL F2 or END ANNULATION
PREVIOUS F3 or PGUP or SHIFT TAB RETOUR
REPEAT F4 REPETITION
GUIDE F5 GUIDE
CORRECTION F6 or BKSP CORRECTION
NEXT F7 or PGDN or TAB SUITE

You can press the F10 key to get a help menu showing the above
Minitel function keys. The help menu also displays a listing of
the following important commands that control your link with the
network.
Logon to Network SHIFT F1
Change Service SHIFT F2
Logoff Network then Quit SHIFT F3
Of the Minitel function keys, the most commonly used ones are
SEND which is used like ENTER (or Carriage Return) on a normal
terminal, CORRECTION which allows you to correct your typing
errors and GUIDE which is used to request help from the service
you are using.

Emulator, print and read the documentation file 'MT.DOC'.
