To start an application with a hot key (FN+F1 through FN+F12)
If an application has been assigned to keys F1 through F12, then it has a
hot-key assignment. A hot key sequence is a shortcut to start a function or
program.
Press and hold FN, and simultaneously press the function key (F1 to
F12) for the assigned application.
Of course, you can always start an application by selecting it in Windows.
The usual Windows methods work for all applications, whether they have hot
key assignments or not.
To use a FN key
FN is the "key" to hot-key assignments. You can easily set up a hot function
key (F1 through F12) for any application present on your OmniBook—then
press FN together with that key to start the application from Windows. The
function keys, labeled F1 through F12, are on the top row of the keyboard.
Their FN functions are shown below. Your OmniBook comes with an icon-
label strip for Windows for Workgroups that you can swap for the
Windows95 icon-label strip. You can also print and insert a new FN-key label
that shows other applications that you assign to the function keys.

You can use the FN+function-key combination to start an application or

Certain FN+function key combinations are predefined (but redefinable).
They are labeled with symbols above the F1 through F5 keys.
To set up a shortcut key sequence (FN key)

Arrange the groups so you can see the group containing the application
icon—and the F1–F12 group icon.
2. Hold down the CTRL key—then move the mouse pointer to the
