This does not work on a Danish standard keyboard. I have borrowed a Danish extended keyboard and verified that the function keys are working on such one, and I also hunted out a US standard keyboard (that is not easy, in Den- mark!), and verified that the Command- is really working on those keyboards. Now the layout of the buttons on a Danish standard keyboard is physically somewhat different from its US brother, so I suspect there is some problem with the SoftPC not respecting system keyboard informa- tion. The SoftPC does not have a KCHR ressource - I have checked that. Not that I am any kind of ResEdit guru ... I am using SoftPC 1.3 on a Mac SE/30 under system DK-6.0.3. Thank you in advance for any help. -- Peder Chr.
