Hi Richie,

>functions as the FN key on a Mac Book?  Richie Gardenhire

I've only read that the new slimline Aluminum Apple keyboards have
F7, F8, and F9 keys that are used for functions like rewind/repeat,
play/pause, and fast forward/skip in iTunes, even when the iTunes
app does not have your current focus and is playing in the background.
I've also read that if you are playing a DVD movie in your drive, the
same keys will let you use similar functions to seek through your DVD,
and that these change automatically without your having to designate
which application you're in.

You could quickly check whether you need to use the FN key prefixes
required for laptops by trying to start and stop VoiceOver with your
new keyboard attached to your laptop (smile).  Do you now have a
new MacBook?

Cheers,

Esther
