It included a replacement keycap for the key just under the right shift key (which is labeled "Action" on my RT keyboard, and "Ctrl/Act" on the keyboard on this RS6k-350 - not sure what it is actually labelled on the 43P in my office). It was engraved with "Execute" - probably as a throw-back to the 3270 keyboard, which has "Enter" there (the key usually labeled "Enter" performs a "skip to first field of next line" action in the block-mode oriented 3270 architecture). For what it's worth, at least some RS6K keyboards *look* identical to a PS2 keyboard, but are electrically different enough that they will NOT interchange - the RS6K would work on a PS2 but the PS2 keyboards won't work on all RS6K. To tell for sure, do an 'lsdev -C' and see if device 'kbd0' is a "PS2 Keyboard" or a "United States Keyboard" - the latter isn't interchangeable, even though it looks like it should, and the plug fits. ;) Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
