As a fellow Mac user (Boot Camp/Parallels) I can tell you that if you hold down the FN key then press your F1 through F4 keys you should get the original Windows (or R:BASE) function. I believe there is also an option in the Apple Control Panel and the Boot Camp control panel (maybe in Parallels also?) for using the function keys for software features but I haven't tried that yet.

I am a single seat user and, therefore, use function keys a lot for Edit, etc. I'm working in coherence mode, which lets me switch between Mac and PC. The issue I'm having is that the F1 through F4 keys stay functioning as Mac shortcuts, so I have to use the mouse to enter the edit mode. (also affects Excel spreadsheets) Is there a way to program/reprogram shortcut keys in R:Base to get around this? I work a lot with name/address type databases and do a lot of edits, so any help would be appreciated to speed up my work. I'd also love to be able to jump to the next field when I use the Enter key in Edit mode. Thank you.
