Slide Show on OS X

[Dan Shafer]

When we talk about how to use the keyboard in a dark room as a slide  
show system and/or how to script these suckers, these alternate uses,  
while correct in their detail, are not very useful to the poor user  
trying to figure out how to make things work.

No reflection on you. I appreciate your making the point clearer. But  
my point remains: Apple made an idiotic decision when it dedicated F  
keys to system-level tasks in one release and then in the next  
release essentially made the default behavior of those keys not only  
different but completely unrelated.
