SYMPTOMS
========
If you have an 84-key keyboard with the Toshiba 5100, using the SHIFT key with
the UP or DOWN ARROW keys may not work properly with the MS-DOS version 5.x and
versions 6.0 and later utilities.
CAUSE
=====
In MS-DOS Shell, Qbasic, or Edit, pressing the SHIFT+UP/DOWN ARROW key
combinations for text or file selection does not work correctly with an
incorrect CMOS setup.
The Toshiba 5100 CMOS setup contains options for an 84 or 101-key keyboard. The
SHIFT+UP/DOWN ARROW key combinations do not operate properly if the setup is
configured for an 84-key keyboard.
The Toshiba CMOS setup option for 84-key keyboard selection disables the 17 page
editing keys. This prevents the UP/DOWN ARROW keys from working in conjunction
with the SHIFT key.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct the problem, change the system CMOS setup from an 84-key keyboard to
a 101-key keyboard, as follows:
1. Insert the Toshiba Setup disk in drive A.
2. At the A prompt, type "TEST3" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.
3. Enter 0 (zero) for the Setup option.
4. Select the Keyboard option.
5. Change the 84-key keyboard to the 101-key keyboard.
6. Press F10 to save your changes and exit Setup.
