thanks daniel - actually i'm running tiger (10.4.11) - its just QS which updated. i'll play around with it - at the moment i've gotten almost used to using F12 - i'd rather use F1 but i don't want to have to use my function key everytime i want to adjust screen brightness, volume etc... let me know if you have any ideas about why this functionality would be discontinued without notice. cheers. b
