Here's one from an ex-Franklin 2200 owner.  How to make the function
keys on that machine (or the ALT key on the he keyboard) work
with say AppleWorks.  Booting a FDOS disk or ProDOS disk, and getting
to an AppleSoft prompt, one could type something like FKEY1="Kid",
etc. (yes I don't remember the exact syntax).  But setting up the
keys and running AppleWorks or trying to get them to do something
reliably in AppleWorks never worked.  Anybody know anything "real"
about the FKeys?
