Hoping for the final word here...
I see that my use of a non-standard keyboard is causing folks some distress.
I agree, and understand. Clearly making a non-standard key the only
shortcut for an operation in the app is a bad idea. That is not my intent.
However, I'm talking about making a number of keys as synonyms for various
operations. In the interest of making common operations easier to perform,
I'm going to make several (probably configurable) key synonyms. This will
make it easier for users to use the application heavily. For an analogy,
think of doing "10-key" data entry, where ease of keyboard use and
minimization of hand movement are paramount.
Thank you all for your input and especially the pointer to NSHelpFunctionKey
and the explanation of the original use for the ? cursor.

I don't however know as if anyone using a newer Mac keyboard would figure
that they could press option help to get the functionality of the 'insert'
key, which I don't think ever did much on the Mac.
