Hi Michael:
I don't know if this applies to all models, but on a PowerBook,
pressing the 'fn' key along with the F12 should generate a standard F12
key press instead of ejecting. The behavior is the same for F1-F6,
which handling contrast, volume, and num lock.

This is
coming to a head for me, so let's try again. This might not even be the
correct list to post this question. If not, someone please direct me to
the
correct list.
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.
