It's a "Fn" key (which doesn't seem to register to RH7.1). My plan is to make my life a little easier by mapping keys to common commands. Such as the nifty litle power, sleep and wake keys (of course not to those comands. Single keypress powerdown? Not for me). And if I get the "Fn" key working I get and extra layer of command keys. :-) Fn, Control and Alt keys. Cool. I posted a similar question a while back about mapping a key command for switching from the US KB layout to the dvorak KB layout. Stuff like that. Maybe it's just a couple nuerons in there death throughs. :-) sim
