I just got a DataDesk Mac-101 extended keyboard to use on my Mac+.
Is there any way that I can use the function keys as I would use the
function keys on a Mac-SE extended keyboard (other than manually using 
the macro program to set up equivalent macros for each program?
What I want is to be able to press the F5 key, say, and then have an
application think that F5 was pressed on an extended keyboard.

Also, how can I get Key Caps to show the new keyboard map? (to show both
command keys, the larger shift key, etc.)  I think both could be solved
by some modification of the Keyboard file in my system folder, but what
modifications are needed?

Thanks for any help,
Scott
