I have this brain-dead HP keyboard that has this:

+----+  +-----+
|Ins |  |Pause|
+----+  +-----+

+----+  +-----+
|Home|  | End |
+----+  +-----+
+----+  +-----+
|    |  |PgUp |
|    |  +-----+
|Del |  +-----+
|    |  |PgDn |
+----+  +-----+

above the direction keys. It's such a PITA...keep away.
