Q: Apple //c keyboard output problems HELP!

So I've always love writing programs in Integer BASIC. I would use an emulator on my modern Mac but recently I got the urged to finally "upgrade" to the real-deal.

 

I bought an Apple //c on ebay as my "first" computer. Everything seemed to work flawlessly except for a few keys.

 

When I press certain keys (on the keyboard) it shows something else.

 

For example:

 

The 'dash/under-score' key (when pressed) says:

]'  90L/-

 

The 'plus/equals' key (when pressed) says:

=P

     UK,

The 'back slash' key (when pressed) says:

M5TJM\`

 

I also noticed these (key outputs) change too..

 

 

Does anyone have slightest idea on why this is happening?

 

Is there a way to fix this?

 

Please dumb all this down for me, thank you for your "output".

Apple //c, Other OS, Integer BASIC
