In Minix, the kernel and Information Server are in two different "spaces". Minix is currently "mapping" things, for example a process table, into the IS space.

Anyway, the F4 keys are defined in /usr/src/services/is/dmp.c, the functions related to the F4 keys are in .../kernel_dmp.c, and the function prototypes are in .../proto.h.

Don't forget to 'make install' in the directory you changed, then reboot. And for God's sake, clone just in case.

Hope this helps.
