   comp.sys.apple2.programmer is _definitely_ the wrong place to post
such a question. It is for talking about programming Apple IIs,

comp.sys.apple2.emulators is a much better place to post. If you would

   Given that the Apple II does not report more than one key down at a
time, pressing all the keys at once is ineffective. What you should do
is try all of the keys, but one at a time, and be sure to try out the
shift key in combination with any key with two characters on it, such
as ';' and ':'
