Stowaway BT and function keys

I'm using this keyboard with PocketDOS on my PPC (FJ Loox720). It works beautifully, except when I need to press a function key (F1 for help, F2 for edit, etc.).

Has anybody found a way to make the keyboard generate function key presses?

Got it. Press Windows_Key + Blue_Fn_Key + 1 for F1 right through to 0 for F10. You can also do a Blue_Fn_Key + NumLock first and then just do Windows_Key + 1 for F1 etc.

Sometimes when generating function key presses within PocketDOS I noticed that the keyboard would get confused and pressing Esc would bring up the PocketDOS shutdown dialog. In this case, pressing Windows_Key twice in succession would "unconfuse" it.
