Hi Larry/ It seems like the function keys in your new keyboard have "OS tasks" linked to it. You can disable this "OS tasks" using these instructions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2600423

Also, you can add the key Fn, for example, Fn + F4.

Darn, there are the mute , lower/ raise volume I was using, and the large magic keyboard does not have fn key.. so how can I set volume and mute?

Use the Fn key to change the functioning of the Function keys. Fn key chnages the function to the other type. Been like that on most keyboards for years. Especially on notebook computer but has carried over to desktop keyboards.
