I will take a look at this for the next version. In the mean time you could go through brainworkshop.pyw and search for "key.F" to find all the function key references.

On the newer keyboards they replaced the "Help" button over the cursors with a "fn" one that acts just like the "fn" buttons on the laptops and makes the F# keys have different behaviours.
I'm using a laptop and don't know for sure, but maybe they updated the function of the "Help" button on the Operating System to act as if it were a "fn" button.
It won't hurt giving it a try.

I believe the default keys for Expose are F8-F10, not F3-F6. If F3-F6 are set for Expose on your computer, that's probably because someone changed the default keys for your computer. You do normally have to hold down fn to use the F* keys on Macs, unless you click the relevant checkbox in the Keyboard pane of the Keyboard & Mouse page in System Preferences. I'm using OS X 10.5.6 on a Macbook, and I have no difficulty modifying the Manual settings. I'm changing the Resolution status to Works For Me. If anyone else is having issues with this, please say so.

Are you using an "old" Apple keyboard?

You can see the difference here, marked with the number 2: http://www.circa1978.com/v1/apple-full.html
