When we talk about how to use the keyboard in a dark room as a slide
show system and/or how to script these suckers, these alternate uses,
while correct in their detail, are not very useful to the poor user
trying to figure out how to make things work.
No reflection on you. I appreciate your making the point clearer. But
my point remains: Apple made an idiotic decision when it dedicated F
keys to system-level tasks in one release and then in the next
release essentially made the default behavior of those keys not only
different but completely unrelated.

Not true, it is just that they (keys F1 through F7) require that
the fn key be simultaneously held down to be used as function
keys. And, of course, under OS X they can be completely remapped
to almost any function you might want (see keyboard shortcuts under
Keyboard and Mouse in System preferences).

Worse yet, on Powerbooks, those keys don't do cut-copy-paste things
but rather control the display and sound. DUmb. APple used to know
how to do consistent interfaces. It was their big secret weapon. Now
it's just a big secret.
