Funkey is a nifty INIT that creates a popup menu of installed FKEYs. For those
 who don't know, FKEYs are code resources, and are typically invoked by
 pressing Shift/Pretzel/some-number-from-0-9. Default installed FKEYs include
 #1 for eject floppy, and #3 for save screen to disk. A major benefit of
 Funkey is that you can go beyond the implicit FKEY limit of 10.

 Funkey will pop up its menu when you hold Shift & Pretzel and click, or you
 can define a "hot rectangle", clicking within which will cause the menu to
 pop up. 

 I think FKEYs are neat, since they can accomplish some of the same things as
 INITs, with less risk to your system's stability. Give it a try, I think
 you'll like it.
