The table below shows which shortcuts are available. To use them press (and hold) the 'Alt' key with the access key you want, then press return. e.g. for the home page press 'Alt' and 1 then return. The search accesskey works a little differently. Press and hold ALT key then 4, this will then put your cursor inside the search box. Now you can type in words to search for and then press return. *Note: This system is only supported by MS Internet Explorer 4 and above and by Netscape 6 and above.
