ThinkPad Distinctive Functions
The Fn Key Lock Function

when you press and hold Fn. With this setup, after you press a function key in the top row, Fn
returns to its normal state. To set up the Fn key this way, select the Accessibility ( ) button
in the ThinkPad Configuration program window (refer to “ThinkPad Configuration Program” on
page 19), or type PS2 FNS E at the command prompt.
