[pchelpers] Re: Function keys

Thank you John and Scott on the function and use of
F keys. At one time, I could program the main frames.
We called the F keys, switches, but I do not program
PCs, so terminology is sometimes an obstacle.

The F11 key, I like. My monitor seems to get smaller and
smaller with all of the junk I have on it's borders, but 
using
that gives me the opportunity of peeping over the fence when
I really want to see something in its entirety.
