TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Chris Morton wondered: <<*An on-screen keyboard is also provided
wherever needed...* A couple of dictionary sites indicate that on-
screen should be hyphenated as you see here. However, I'm thinking
that hyphenation is no longer required for this word.>>
Both are acceptable alternatives, so choose whichever one you like.
