One of the first things I did when started using this Snow Leopard 
system for supporting filepro-based clients (through the default 
terminal) was to go into System Preferences, Keyboard, then Expose & 
Spaces and change the assignment of F9 - F11 to require shift to yield 
the same functions.  This allows me to keep F9 & F10 available for 
filepro the way that I am used to.   I do use the shift-F9 occasionally 
when my windows are piled up, but no nearly as much as I used that key 
for filepro.
