In Cocoa (and therefore in Studio, if you know how to make the Cocoa calls),
you can get them from the NSEvent class. It contains constants for F1
through F35 (now, THAT's a keyboard I would like to see!) for distinguishing
which key was pressed by the user to generate [NSApp currentEvent], and a
'keycode' method to get the hardware-independent keycode.

If you just want to know what they are, one way to find out is to download
the trial version of PreFab UI Browser at <http://www.prefab.com/uibrowser>,
launch it, open its Keystrokes drawer, and start pressing function keys on
your keyboard. The corresponding keycodes will appear in the drawer.
