How do I spin and otherwise manipulate the surface in the surface window
The method for doing this is to use the numeric keypad on the right hand side of the keyboard.
First ensure that the 'num lock' is on (indicated by the 'num lock' light on the top right of the keyboard being lit). If not press the 'numlock' key on the top left of the numeric keypad.
The spinning of the surface is done with various keys (with the coloured keys in the picture below being used for manipulating the image, the others are not used) on the key pad as below. Press the keys once to move it a little. Hold the key down the continuous movement. The amount of movement in each key press is controlled by a popup menu in the surface window.
