I do not get this thread at all. First, I do not see the relevance to
Java. Second, I use X3270 as a terminal emulator to my MVS and can use
the PFkeys like they were intended. Third, you can easily change the
Exposé assignments to their shifted variants, if you want them at all
(I have exposé triggered on mousing to the corners, which is way
cooler. I even do that on the Windows box -- too bad nothing moves
there).
Even on the Powerbooks you do not have to remap anymore or use [fn] -
there is a setting to allow plain old FK access.

Yeah, I think Apple really went into dangerous territory when they
co-opted F9-F12 for Expose. They broke a lot of existing software for
a feature that I'll bet few people use and left developers with four
fewer function keys and a fear that future system releases may co-opt
the ones that are left.
It's almost as stupid as the "Windows" button on every PC. I'll bet
few people use that, so for most of people it's just a dead key in a
prime location.

The first thought that pops to mind, . . .
would be to re-map those functions . . .
Actually, our emulator already has that capability (we didn't think
about it until *after* I'd posted the request, and I wasn't the one
who remembered first, even though I designed it), but what the
<censored> are a standard set of function keys doing on a Mac in the
first place, if they can't be used by application software?
