Thanks alot everyone!! I am happy that you appreciate my input here , it means alot to me .
And Julie , the ESC key is basically to exit or minimize an application when you have no other way to do so , such as when you are playing a full screen video and your screen is completely covered , or to exit to the menu of a PC game .
A tilde , ~ , (pronounced TILL-duh or TILL-day) is used to represent the current user's home directory . On Web server systems, the tilde is frequently used as the first character for a user's home directory in the file system . Since users often keep personal or business web pages on a server under their personal home directory , you will often see the tilde as part of Web addresses . It is also used as punctuation in certain languages . I just use it cuz it looks cool by my F lol (see below)
F1 - Brings up help
F3 - Search
F4 - Opens up Address Bar history
F5 - Refreshes the page you are looking at.
F11 - May put IE into Kiosk mode (making IE expand completely full-screen , covering your task and toolbar buttons) if it hasn't been disabled.
These and the others do different things in different browsers and applications , games , and programs and are sometimes assignable to do specific tasks , such as back or forward . The only real way to tell what they do is to click them in different applications .
Hope this answered your questions .
