They keycap on every mac keyboard I've used has been "option" in big letters, and "alt" in big letters above it. just like the help key, the forward delete symbol key, and clear key (and F13-F15) all have their PC equivs in small letters at the top of the key.
"clear" is at the *bottom* of my 6 key, in the position where numeric-keypad equivalents go, since the TiBook doesn't have a separate numeric keypad, but rather has some keys do double-duty.
But I do have "alt" above the "option" on my keyboard, which I hadn't noticed before. I assume that's because "alt" is an alternate name for the key, as opposed to an alternate function.
