Ooh, that's an excellent answer Mr. Williams! Thanks so much for
reminding me that a lot of people have "multimedia keyboards". Since I
never use them, I tend to forget about them. Or the OP has a laptop and
the keyboard has gone wonky.

I do hope Frank comes back and tells us, but thanks for the insight
anyway.
