Each of the keys on the extended keyboard sends a code, just like any other
key.  It is up to application programs to check for those codes, just like on
the PC and its ilk.  The support is already there, now it's up to applications
to recognize the results they're being fed.

QuicKeys, however, is an excellent product and should be strongly considered by
anyone who is going to be using a MacPlus, SE, or II especially now that Multi-
finder is out.  Define application-specific keysets, something that SuperKey
and its brethren don't allow, and macro your common activities in each app that
you run.  It saves a lot of time and aggravation.  They wouldn't allow me to
put a few "special" key equivalents into dBASE Mac for things like "Print
Current Form" and defining a field as Numeric, but with QuicKeys I have those
when I'm running dBASE Mac.
