Yes. The keyboard layout is very much like the AT since it is meant to be used in PeeCee emulation mode (on the 2000 at least). This means that they moved the ESC key (irk) and the cursor keys among other things. My opinion is that the position on the cursor keys on the 1000 is the best I've ever used, not too far from the main part of the keyboard and in a useful pattern. Gary
