laptop shortcuts for window menu (fn key not working?)

[NashGtr]

I'm on a laptop using 10.5.8.and would like to use the shortcuts in the "Window" menu to access the Transport and Memory Locations. The "Apple 1" or "Apple 5" shortcuts do not work (instead they engage the Scrubber Tool and Zoomer Tool).I did a search in this forum and found

This idicates that the shorcuts are different for laptops.The "fn" key doesn't seem to do anything.
What am I missing? Something really obvious?
Anyone got some insight?
Thanks

If you look at your keyboard, notice the numbers on the bottom right of the mjkluio keys (and on the 789 keys) as well as the punctuations on ./;p and 0. Those are a numeric keypad when you're holding down the fn key. So to do Cmd-(keypad 1) to show the Transport window, you'd hit fn-cmd-j, because the j key has the number 1 on it.

You should be able to construct any of the numeric keypad shortcuts with this. If you're going to do a lot of keypad entry, by the way, try hitting fn-f6 to enable (or disable) num lock; then you don't have to hold down the fn key.

Does that work for you?

Very articulate
thank you very much

I couldn't even see those numbers before~then they were just "there"
kind of like an ink blot.
