    In the tips area of Frigate 3, it says some key combinations that I don't recognize.

    Alt+Gray Plus

    Press Ctrl+Gray

    What is "Gray"?

    100% pure Oregonian WAG- gray plus is numpad + and gray might be numpad - or enter??

    Experimentation in order. I dunno. the keyboard I have plugged in to this laptop until a new one gets here is pure white with black lettering, but I think the numpads used to be off-color.

    use help>feedback to ask them to be more specific?

    beat me to it, BuBBy. I'm really guessing on the minus, but you can't press 'em all at once.

    On my Gateway MX6124, it's the "?" key is also the "+" key. On my Toshiba 2595XDVD, it is also the ";" key.

    You never saw a laptop keyboard with the overlay of the numeric keypad on top of the right side of the QWERTY keyboard goodgotd? See the image I copied from the manual.

    well.... actually I *have* seen one, it's just that I never paid attention to the green keypad markings in the first place- and it's been stashed on top of the headboard for 5 months since fragments of the left lid pivot housing got driven through the membrane and repair attempts failed. I just looked, they're identical. oops.

    I'm waiting for a friend to finally send me the NOS replacement keyboard (english-hebrew, <G> Ebay Item number 6863178694) he bought and mistakenly shipped to himself.

    This is a 1999 Gateway Solo 2550 P3-450 with the 13.3" LCD.

    yep, I'm an animal.
