That's odd. Mine only has the help system button and Options (OS 9.0.4). No
Function Keys on that Control Panel on this Mac. It's the same on my
desktop and PowerBook Macs. What's going on there? The Keyboard Control
Panel version is 8.4, but it's from a clean install of 9, so should be up
to date.

I don't have that box checked (in other words, I don't have the
Cmd-Option-Space alternative checked) and all three versions of FrameMaker
work fine. Peculiar.
