Hi Jean-Claude,

Do you have one of the new model MacBook Pro laptops without
the num lock (F6) key?  I'd like to know whether your "function" M
works as though this were "0" on a numeric keypad, even on the
new MacBook and MacBook Pro models that don't support a full
num pad emulation.  (I discovered that some of the num pad keys
corresponding to numbers still work on these models if I turn on
mouse keys, and Tim confirmed that the keys corresponding to
numbers 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 work in NumPad Commander when
mouse keys are turned on for these laptops).  (This doesn't apply
to Orin's specific question, since with the iMac he's using a 
full (desktop) keyboard with num pad, but this may be of interest
to users with the new laptops who run Fusion.)

Cheers,

Esther
