Has anyone figured out how to tell the difference between the ENTER key
on the keypad and the "normal" enter key on the new keyboards? Ditto for
the slash ("/") key. Are the technical details of this new keyboard
being published anywhere, like in the AT Reference Manual?
I have waited patiently these last few months for someone to expound on
the differences between the old and the new keyboards, but aside from
what it is easily possible to glean by playing with the NUM LOCK key,
I am at a loss. I do know that FANSI-CONSOLE beeps every time one of
the new keys is pressed, then passes the correct key code through.
So, it must be possible to distinguish these keys. But how?

I feel more like I do now than I did when I first got here.
