Not quite.

Seems already the case since the four screens are already there.

Should also be in the default install.

On sparc(64) that's Stop + Function key. Don't ask me why, it's in the
Sun keymaps. USB keyboards can use either as long as there is a stop key
( added that a while ago to make a Type 6 USB behave like a Type 5 to
avoid confusion ), macppc uses Command + Function key.

have fun
