[QUOTE="Xyphus, post: 17286"] Sorry is this sounds like a silly newbie question, but unfortunatly the manual (if you really can call it that) that came with the iBook is sorely lacking. First off, I was pleased to find that the Diablo II and LOD CDs that I purchased are hybrid. I originally bought them for my PC, but was happy to find that I could install and play on my new iBook. The problem that I am running into is that the F-keys are used for hotkeys in the game (cast a spell, etc.) but when I press them on the iBook I get the volume up/down, contrast, etc. instead of the actual F-Key. I looked through the manual, and did a quick search to see if this had been covered before (if it has, I didn't seem to come up with any hits...) but could not find any help on this subject. I thought perhaps the small "fn" key in the lower left might be a toggle, but couldn't seem to make it work if it really is... Can anyone offer any help? I am using a G3 900Mhz iBook with 256MB and CD drive. Running OS X 10.2.8 and the Carbon OS X patch for Diablo II (to run in native OS X instead of Classic) Thanks in advance for any info... :) [/QUOTE]
