I'm using a MAC G4 running OS 10.2.   My question is about programming
the F-keys.  I understand that I can program them to do things like
open certain applications or files.  But what I really want to do is
more specific.   For example, I would like for F1 to be a "back" key
in my browser.   Please tell me if this is possible, and if so,
exactly how to do it.

Answer

There is no answer at this time.

QuicKeys is exactly what you're looking for. I think there is a
version for OS-X. If not, there will surely be one soon.

There is a great article on shareware macro utilities at 
http://www.osxfaq.com/dailytips/06-2002/06-26.ws . 
If you're only looking to launch items, I have enjoyed the shareware
program called Key Xing (by Luma Code). Information can be found at
