How to tell which keyboard layout to choose?

Newbie taking first crack at puppy here.
Downloaded 2.10 iso, burned live cd, and booted successfully. Selected Xorg and managed to muddle through up to the appearance of a 'normal' desktop.
I had several minor problems with puppy failing to diagnose my laptop's (Compaq Presario 1500) hardware but I managed to sleepwalk through workable selections in all cases but one: Early on I was prompted to select a keyboard layout or whatever it is called. Having no clue as to what to go for, I let the default selection (first in the list) stand. It wasn't the correct choice as several keys produce characters other than the expected (e.g. stricking 'A' produces 'Q' on screen, etc.). How can I remedy the situation?
The keyboard layout I use with the indigenous WinXP installation is 'us english.'
