John,
Apple laptops have many dual-function keys. You trigger the alternate
function by holding down the "fn" key. The keys on the right-hand side
of the keyboard (6789 UIO[ JKL; M,./ ) form an alternate numeric
keypad that can be invoked by holding down the "fn" key, or (as I just
discovered), using the numlock key (which, on laptops, shares a key
with F6).
On an extended keyboard, the Clear key is part of the numeric keypad.
On Apple laptops, the clear key is part of the alternate numeric
keypad, which means it shares a key with the 6 key on the top number
row. Like I said, it is invoked by pressing fn-6.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Darcy -
I'm confused - when you say "part of the alternate numeric keyboard"
do you mean when the the numlock is invoked? That would mean the
letter "o" for the number 6, right? Doesn't the Fn-6 (in the top
number row) work as well when the numlock is not on?
