Edit:Advanced options:keys:Action on special keys.

A search for "f-lock" on anzio.com points first to 
   http://www.anzio.com/pub/anzio16/howto.txt
where a search for "f lock" (admitting inconsistency in hyphenation) 
explains the feature. The "howto.txt" is also included in the Anzio 
install.

Keyboards are inconsistent on this, and also user-configurable. On both 
the Microsoft and the Sony keyboard I have in front of me, the volume keys 
do not even reach Anzio, even when it is in focus. I don't have an HP 
keyboard handy. Please do me a favor: turn on Diagnose:Debug keystrokes, 
then hit a volume key, and tell me what it reports.
