My apologies if these seemingly simple questions have already been 
addressed here on the net.

1)  How do you determine if a function key has been hit on the 520?
    I'm interested in doing this through C and I have both the DRI
    and the Lattice Compilers available.  I've tried most everything
    I can think of following up on the hints that the Hitchhiker's 
    Guide offers about similiarities between the 520's function keys
    and the IBM PC's but no luck.

2)  Is there a way of accessing the system clock to do timing other
    than using the 2 second resolution accesses that are documented.
    Again through C.


My thanks in advance for any help.
