MASQUERAID did not have a good answer, but he put me on the right track. The correct answer is to not think of this pad as a personal computer but as a big phone. The correct answer was to click on the input field a couple of times until the keypad appears. This can be frustrating when using this kind of a pad for the first time. An additional problem was in landscape mode the whole bottom row of the keyboard was not accessible and there is no keyboard calibration in the standard android keyboard. Eventually, I determined that switching to portrait mode (and waiting and waiting for it to change) allowed me to click on the bottom row of keys. I was advised to install Swiftkey from the app store. The app store has no decent seach function, so I couldn't get it. Also, since it cost a few dollars to purchase, I felt that was unreasonable. The android keyboard should have had a calibration function.
