F9 thru 12 are all nice.
I especially like f11 to show the desktop grab a file let the key go and drop it in the current applications window.
You will probably like the next rev of the mac os:
Riding Rails: Ruby on Rails will ship with OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Your son’s got the right idea. I’ve always found that kind of curiousity a rich source of useful knowledge. It was amazing what you found with a product from pre-PC days called the Digital Equipment All-In-1 office system. Odd key combinations would bring up all sorts of useful stuff on screen, providing a useful peek behind the scenes. The real keyboard whizzes could at one time, it was rumoured, crash the server by creative use of unusual terminal key sequences. Happy days!
