Is there a list of the functions that these extra keys perform? I have a
full-sized keyboard and would like to utilize these functions, especially the
ones that adjust brightness and volume settings. Thanks.

Shrug.
On my Macbook mid 2010 pro running Lion, command option eject puts my computer

I didn't say escape. I said command option eject.

Oh; sorry. This keyboard does not have an Eject key. What's more, for some
reason the function keys, even the normal F1-12, keep switching back and forth
between hardware and software functions; I used to be able to press F8 for
Itunes playback, for example, and now I have to hit Function F8.
Hi,
But that's what should happen. If you uncheck the box, you won't have to press
the FN key to play/pause.

In my case, the box must be checked in order for F8, 11, 12 and now 13 to work
as hardware keys, and I don't have to use the FN key. They must have switched
a lot of stuff between SL and Lion.

THere are two tables.
The first table you want to navigate down the second column. Once you select a
category of shortcut keys, you can peruse the table of keys. This perusal is
not as good in the current Lion as it was in Snow Leopard, but it is still
functional.
The second table has two
Your explanation of the tables was quite helpful! I did just as you said,
selected applications, from the first, then sleep, from the second, then
hit add an application shortcut, and typed sleep, in the menu title,
area, and F13 in the text box for the key I wanted to use. Went back and
Hi,
I'm not sure if you were aware but, there is already a command to put your
computer to sleep. Its command option F13. I believe F13 by itself is also
the eject key.

Ricardo, please excuse me but no to both of these; Cmd Option F13 does nothing,
(nor does Cmd Option Function F13), nor does the key by itself do anything.
F14 and F15, oddly, control display brightness, up or down.

Sure; I could use an eject key, too. I cannot figure out how to assign those
keys to any shortcut, though. Is there a way I can access the keyboard event
log so that I can see what those keys correspond to, in terms of output or
something? Gotta be a way to do this...

I think you could do an apple script if you have UI scripting enabled. I am
fairly sure there is a keypressevent in there, but I don't remeber exactly.
A better way would be to use the keyboard system preferences and type the key
as a potential shortcut, and see if anything comes up.
Slight experimentation with the keyboard shortcut dialog in Prefs shows it to
be loaded with Images and things which make it a bit hard for me to parse right
away. Not going so far as to say it's inaccessible, but the instructions of:
To change a shortcut, double-click the shortcut and hold
