    Chuck,

    Are you talking about for Mach3 software?

    If so, the page up and page down buttuns or press tab and you can use the screen and then change it to any key you want.

    Is this what you are talking about?

    + an - control it. i used mine for the first time yesterday and was very happy with it.

    edit: i use a full size keyboard but i would think it'd be the same.

    Thanks guys, it is for the mach 3 software zabink.

    I tried the + and - keys and it doesnt seem to work. I have taken a look in the manual and cant find a thing.

    I am no sure if it is the mini keyboard or the Tormach version of mach 3. In the mach 3 manual it shows the tab key fly out you speak of, but it does not appear on my version.

    Any other ideas or suggestions that may be worth trying out?

    The mini is the only keyboard on the machine, I will plug in a standard one sometime today and try it out.

    i just assumed you had a number key pad also and were trying the +- keys on it. i use the ones on the number pad instead of using the shift key for + on the main part of the keyboard.
