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.
