Re: Mac Migration: the sequel



Jon,

I have an older Macbook Air. On the systems/keyboard menu there is an option to use the function keys without pressing the fn key. Have they changed that on the new Air?

Hi Jon,

I am no Mac expert, but I would explore Mac key remappers. If they are
able to do this kind of application-specific conditional remapping, then
it might be feasible. Clearly, this is not something that can be
accomplished with vDosPlus XyWrite.
