I put a few treasured FKEYs in system 7.0b4 and they worked fine. I can't
honestly recall if I dragged them into the system folder or used ResEdit?!
I hadn't noticed the reservation clause in IM6. I guess if Apple fills up the
slots with things I like better, I'll have to do something innovative with
QuicKeys 2 (or whatever). FKEYs forever!
