The key equivalent is Ctrl - Esc. (Ctrl-Esc has the same result in Windows as pressing the "windows key") The context menu key (the other new "Win" key) is equilvalent to a right click. Ctrl - Esc is press and hold the Ctrl key and press the Esc key. you must be pretty young (if the keyboard is older than you). I'm glad you got started right (with BSD).
