As you can tell from the subject title, can anyone please tell me the use of the scroll-lock in a 101-key keyboard? Is it a normal key just like any other keys, or does it have special functions? Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Teik Leong Tan 252u3715@fergvax.unl.edu

It's used in Rogue... -- (no .sig yet) (By the way, is it really true that no one takes you seriously if you don't have a .sig? Just checking...)

What version? I have the Epyx version and I don't recall it being used. Of course, I could be wrong :-). In Pyro v2.2 (available at garbo.uwasa.fi in pub/games (?)) you use scroll lock to speed up the game. Carl
