Thank you, Martin.  I have 7 non-Apple Status Items on my Mac account, and none 
of them are accessible via the F8 key.  However, you are correct.  I just 
installed iStat Menus from bjango.com and, indeed, its Status Items *are* 
accessible via F8.  Furthermore, instead of being appended to the left, they 
take priority over all the other non-Apple Status Items.  The right half of my 
menu bar looks like this:

    |  Other Non-Apple Items  |  iStat Menu Items  |  Apple Items 

Apparently, bjango has figured out a trick that no one else has.  I wonder if 
it's "legal"?
