Pro Keyboard eject function on an older keyboard...
I have a flat screen new iMac. I want to use my old 'short' iMac keyboard (from back in the bondi blue days) instead. How would I eject the cd without the cd-eject button? Can an applescript be writen to do it from an F-Key? Help anyone? Thx in advance.
PS, Never mind WHY I want to do this, I just do.

Try F15 -- I seem to recall that it acts as the eject key when you don't have a real eject key.
<strong>Eww! You *want* to use one of those old keyboards?? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

Did the little keyboards even have F15? I thought they only went up to F12?
Try F12... that's the eject button on the iBook and TiBook and if I recall right, at least earlier in 10.1.x it ejected on all computers.
<strong>I am pretty sure command+E works as well...Although the object you want to eject may need to be highlighted or in use.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Ah.. but what if there is no cd in the drive to eject and I simply want to open it?

You are correct. It only goes to F12, and I'll give it a try tommorrow. Thx.
You can't write a Finder AppleScript to eject in the Finder on its own. I have tried!
