Well, I've had enough of the "Xe*ox su*s Apple," "Mac vs I*M," and
"Mac vs N*xT" threads, so I thought I'd ask a REAL ( 1/100 :-) )
question.
On the Apple extended keyboard, function keys F1 - F4 are conveniently
marked as undo, cut, copy and paste, respectively. Unfortunately,
the functions only work when I'm using MacroMucker, which I despise.
So, I would like to know how to define these keys without MacroMucker.
I have ResEdit and am willing to attack a copy of my system.
If anybody has a solution, please mail (or post if you think it is
warranted) to me. I figure that this is a trivial hack that many have
already solved. I'm just a little too dense to figure it out.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

The program has to explicity support them (unless you're using some sort of macro package). I *think* all the newest release of Claris products support these keys. I *know* MacDraw II 1.1 does (and it only took me about 10 minutes to add this!) Claris Corp. | Michael R.

Unfortunately, it does not work within MicroSoft Word 4.0. It sure would be nice if these commercial developers would stay within the guidelines (are you listening, MicroSoft??). The init can be ftp'ed from the sumex archives as saratoga.hqx (BinHex'ed and StuffIt'ed) in the init subdirectory.
