The "F" keys

[MARCY]

OK....Perhaps by now I should know this. But I still am
novice. I know F8 is for. But I dont know that the other
11 keys do on the key board. And Idont know where to read
about them although I could inspect my tutorials on my
pc. But does anyone know where I can find out their
meaning?? WIN XP

In Help, search on shortcut keys
