RESOLVED. I am not sure why but when I selected keyboard preferences, keyboard, and modifier keys they were all set to do nothing. Not sure how they got to those selections. We had a previously paired magic wireless keyboard and it was working fine. When I set the options for caps lock to caps lock, control key to control, option key to option, and command key to command everything started working.
