DOS software
thegmailer,
IBMsystems has a point. The Cash Register program is DOS software. This means that with a few exceptions the Windows keyboard functions do not do anything.
[CTRL] does absolutely nothing.
The [ALT] key is only used by the program to in conjuction with the numeric keypad to enter foreign language characters into text.
[DELETE] will remove the character at the cursor position when entering text. It will also turn off a timer.
When entering text [INSERT] will toggle the program between adding or overwriting text at the cursor position.
[ESC] will usually stop what you are doing and return you to the previous screen.
The only two Windows keyboard commands I know of that do anything are [ALT] + [TAB] will minimize the POS program in Windows and [ALT] + [ENTER] will toggle the POS program between full screen and a window.

O My Gosh I Acually Have Been Some What Correct
If You Do Need Some Other Things I Suggest You Look In To Buying A POS Keyboard Also I Do NOT Suggest Using The Keyboard That Came With Your System Most Of The Time I Throw Them Out
(just ask andrew we all have seen the evil results of a standard system keyboard in chat)

The concept
Hey folks,
I think that you have lost the concept. The problem is not thegmailer's keyboard, that works fine. The problem is that thegmailer wants a DOS program to execute Windows keyboard shortcuts. That is not going to happen and a new keyboard will not help.
