[comp.sys.mac] How do I use function keys on DataDesk-101 on a Mac+?

sclindhu@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Scott Charles Lindhurst) (05/04/89)

I just got a DataDesk Mac-101 extended keyboard to use on my Mac+.
Is there any way that I can use the function keys as I would use the
function keys on a Mac-SE extended keyboard (other than manually using 
the macro program to set up equivalent macros for each program?
What I want is to be able to press the F5 key, say, and then have an
application think that F5 was pressed on an extended keyboard.

Also, how can I get Key Caps to show the new keyboard map? (to show both
command keys, the larger shift key, etc.)  I think both could be solved
by some modification of the Keyboard file in my system folder, but what
modifications are needed?

Thanks for any help,
Scott

Yes. There is an INIT that comes with the Datadesk keyboard that sets things
up properly. It should be on the disk that came with the keyboard...

Bookends. What a wonderful thought.
