Just another idea:
I think many users ( me included ) don't know which functions are all available 
actually ( MP3, DVD, VDR, VideoCD, Cutting ).
So wouldn't it be nice to assign a key for showing a list of all available 
functions ( with the defined key for it ) ?
Then you get a help page and also you can reach all functions by just selecting 
the one you want from the list.
