2372.0. "PCXAL keyboard, no Fn key, how to simulate?" by TENNIS::KAM (AltaVista Software 714/261-4133 DTN 535.4133) Tue Apr 15 1997 15:22

    A customer is using the HiNote series with an external monitor.  The PC
    is FAR from the monitor and everytime they boot the system they have to
    walk over to the PC.  The keyboard (pcxal-aa) doesn't have a Fn key.
    
    Is there a key combination that they can use to simulate Fn F4,
    switching to the external monitor.

2372.1	Use the R.H. Ctrl and Alt keys for Fn	VAOU09::ras018p04.vao.dec.com::FBROWN	Fred Brown, NT Wizard	`Thu Apr 17 1997 17:39`	6
	Use the right Control and Alt keys to simulate the Fn key. Thus Fn+F4 becomes Right-Ctrl+Right-Alt+F4. At least that works on a HiNote Ultra I. Regards,

	re -1: You can find it in 1396.2. I don't think it's documented. As far as I can recall, I discovered it by trial and error. :-)
