This MAY be standard for ThinkPads, but there's in general little stan-
darization among notebooks. Some Dells, for instance, use F8, while
others use Fn-F2. I think I have a really old Dell around here somewhere
that uses a third combination. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find
that ThinkPads aren't all alike in this.
There's nothing like standardization, and this is nothing like standardi-
zation.
