I have a DEC LK201 keyboard. Model LK201, PN 70-23983-EC, D01
All the main keys have an additional character imprinted on the front
of the key. For instance the 'Q' key has a '?' on the front, the '5'
has a '=', the P has a '*'. There are also some graphics and what look
like mathematical notation characters on some keys, like 'R' has what
looks like a lower case 'p' with a little tail, 'J' has a degree
symbol, 'L' has a rectangle.

Anyone have any idea what these characters are for, and what
application they would be associated with? Thanks.
