Notes on DECKBUM
- DECKBUM changes the characters that the main keyboard keys send. Make sure you are aware of this change if you use DECKBUM in an application.
- If you use the North American language, then DECKBUM should always be reset (typewriter). For all other languages, you can use either mode.
