Function key menu shortcuts

[Sarah Reichelt]

Is there any way to have a function key show up as the shortcut for a  
menu? I can script it to happen, but I don't know how to make it  
apparent to the user.

I can set a command key shortcut and it appears beside the menu item,  
but I would like to have "F1", "F8" etc appearing beside the item. Is  
this possible?

(I'm talking about Mac only and menubar menus, not popups).

TIA,
Sarah
