John,
Take a look at the arrow keys on your MacBook Pro. In addition to
the directional arrows, they have words printed on them. Words like
"home," "end," and "page." Those alternate functions are enabled by
the fn key. Same deal with the little numbers printed on the U, I,
O, etc. keys -- when you hold down the fn key, they work as a
substitute for the numeric keypad.
You're absolutely right!! I never noticed, because I have to take my
glasses off to read the computer screen, but then can't read the
little words on the keys!
And I didn't realize that "fn" would give me quick and temporary
access to the embedded keypad. I regularly use Number Lock for
entering scores in my gradesheets.
