Stella, the return key is the big one, sometimes says 'enter'. Quick tip for copy m paste.. Highlight what you want to copy, then hit Ctrl and 'C' keys, then when you are ready to paste it, hit Ctrl and 'V' keys. If you want to CUT and paste (move it from one place to another), hit Ctrl 'X' instead of 'C'

Mine's an American keyboard (I'm here in UK), so don't have a pound symbol, now can some clever clogs tell me how I can get one without buying a new keyboard - not that I'm tight. Stella
