Mac Keyboard Shortcuts
In general, whenever you see the Control key used on a PC you can substitute the Apple key if you're working on a Mac.  The Apple key is just to the left of the space bar on your keyboard.  It has a picture of an apple on one side and a little four-loop curly-cue thing on the other.

All the FM keyboard shortcuts appear opposite the functions in the menus.  But it's useful to have all the most common ones listed in one place.  The following list of Mac keyboard shortcuts corresponds to the list that appears in the Programming Tips and Tricks box on page 39 of the manual.  (Please note that the Print Task function [Apple Key-P] is not enabled in the Mac version.)

Apple Key-K:  Deletes highlighted line in Instruction list.

Apple Key-. :  "Stop!"  (This is like pushing the Stop button on the Toolbar.)
Apple Key-Q:  Quits FUNdaMENTAL.
