Michael,
I don't know if this is helpful or not, but sometimes Classic's
Keyboard control panel will override this behavior on OSX.
Frankly, I hate this 'forced remap' of my function keys. I know
most Mac users don't use them, but Flash, for example, has some
features mapped to those keys. I hate that I can't use Flash as
effectively now, just because I upgraded my OS.
I have no idea who to complain to about this either, though.

I have a program that I have used for years on other platforms.
I am now
porting it to OS X. It makes use of the F12 key on the
keyboard. The newer
CD-RW drive no long opens using the front panel push button.
You have to
push F12 to open it. Somehow Apple's driver is gabbing it at a
system level,
because the F12 key never makes it into my application even
though all of
the other function keys do. I have tried catching key down
events at all
levels of my application, but the F12 just never gets to me.
Does anyone know of a way to remap the CD-RW open to another
key freeing up
F12 for my application?
Thanks.
