Hello,
I have this problem: The SoftPC manual states that on a standard
(i.e. not extended) keyboard, you simulate the function key <n> by pres-
sing Command-<n>, the <n> key being in the numeric pad. This does not
work on a Danish standard keyboard. I have borrowed a Danish extended
keyboard and verified that the function keys are working on such one,
and I also hunted out a US standard keyboard (that is not easy, in Den-
mark!), and verified that the Command-<n> is really working on those
keyboards.
Now the layout of the buttons on a Danish standard keyboard is
physically somewhat different from its US brother, so I suspect there
is some problem with the SoftPC not respecting system keyboard informa-
tion. The SoftPC does not have a KCHR ressource - I have checked that.
Not that I am any kind of ResEdit guru ...
I am using SoftPC 1.3 on a Mac SE/30 under system DK-6.0.3.
Thank you in advance for any help.
