Pretty much the Fkeys on my alu keyboard F15 - F19. I don't think they do anything. All the rest on the alu keyboard are pretty self explanitory.

§ = sanscript right?. Don't quote me on this though.

Yeah the F1-F10 key seem pretty much pointless

I use FN + F1-F12 for photoshop actions.
But there primary uses are used all the time. (brightness, volume etc)

§ is for beginnings of chapters and whatnot.

ie §1 Topic-name - Lecture 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
§2 Topic name - Lecture 1, 2, 3
§3 Topic name - Lecture 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

I haven't counted them, but the only ones I know about are the ones with counterparts on my Sun box's keyboard.
