In the old days, PFK13 to PFK24 were the primary PFKeys (with PFK01 to
PFK12 secondary). PFK21 was orginally assigned to SWAP (toggle screens)
by default and as a primary PFK. IBM then changed all that to be
PC-compatible, making PFK01-PFK12 the new primary PFKs (possibly in
OS/390, or even

Ok, but I use that rchange key pretty often, so if your theory is right it's
