Absolutely wrong!  You must have been using pre-release software.

I tried this with the official System 3.3 that comes with AppleShare and
FKEYs worked fine.  (Both the built in ones and new ones that I installed.)
I checked ScrDmpEnb ($02F8) and it was $FF as it should be.  Setting it to
00 disabled FKEYs.

This points out one of the problems with using pre-release software.  In the
future, you should make it clear which version of software you are using.
