The extra keys have worked in JDS in the past (on other keyboards at
least), so if they don't now I'd suggest it's a regression/bug that
should be fixed.

Unfortunately, a lot of the extra keys don't really have an obvious use
in JDS the way they did back in the SunView/OpenWindows/CDE days (e.g.
Props, Again), but we're always open to suggestions.

Cheeri,
Calum.
