How do PPCs do 'alt', 'ctrl'?

[Guest rireed]

I have run across a couple of things browsing with my smartphone that require the 'alt' key. I'm interested in PPCs with soft keyboards, but the MS site doesn't talk about the ALT key or for that matter, the CTRL key with WM Word.

Does anyone know where I can learn about how different PPCs implement these?

Thanks,

Richard

That's because they don't exist on the PPC or smartphone...

Thanks, Pippy007. I Googled till I'm blue and found that the PPCs with touch screens have a virtual keyboard used with the stylus. It seems to have CTRL, but no Alt. Makes sense for Word. IE probably works well enough not to need Alt.
