[X4U] Problem with F9 key in Mac OS 10.3.7

[Hector Luna]

That's Expose. I think it was introduced w/ Panther, maybe Jaguar, in
any event, if you go into the system preferences, open the Expose
control panel, you can change the hotkey assignment, default is F9..

I happen to love Expose and have it mapped to the middle button on my
mouse. It comes in really handy when you have several windows and apps
going at once, as I generally do...
