Nope. It's the stupid OS. The keys don't work in other apps, either.

No sir, I don't like it!!!

Am I the only one in the newsgroup that uses a Mac to access an OpenVMS box?

More than a couple grand and the stupid thing doesn't work. I just tried a third keyboard. Still doesn't work. Except sometimes I'm switched to a different app. Pressing 5 hides the Dock if the Dock is already up. (>_<) Is that the "angry" emoticon?
