user manual

[retired]

Just got a used t20 and need a user manual (first laptop). Tried the online lenovo site but all the manuals are for something other than basic directions for keys etc. It refers to thinkpad key but nothing happens when I press it when I'm online.

There's this:

The Thinkpad key is a user-configurable key. It is generally used to launch the Access Thinkpad program. You have to have downloaded the program for it to work. If the previous owner wiped the hard drive and installed a retail copy of Windows, then most likely the key will not do anything. You can download any of the Thinkpad updates and utility programs for the T20 from here:
