Where is the "Pause" key?

Hi, in office i am using IBM laptop to access Bloomberg terminal via VNC, the default login key is "Pause/Break".
But i use MacBook (black) to access Bloomberg via Chicken VNC, then I couldn't log in cause there is no "Pause/Break" key in the Mac's keyboard.
How to solve the prob?
Many thanks

Macbook Black 2.4G, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

And as I understand it, COTVNC doesn't have a key mapping function. So you'll have to find some way to emulate the key on the OSX side using a keymapper such as this:

I tried fiddling with it, but I couldn't make it work for me. The keymapper above is primarily designed to let you type odd characters, and I couldn't figure out how to make it emulate a keypress. You might have better luck.

A easy solution is to find a Windows usb keyboard and plug it in, but that's not very elegant.
