Fn F9 and F10 keys work on my new iMac

Just got the new iMac. All Fn keys work but the F9 and F10 functions do not. In system preferences it doesn't appear that functions are set up for F9 and F10. OS X keyboard shortcuts online shows that these keys should do the following:

F9 - Tile or untile all open windows

F10 - Tile or untile all open windows in the currently active application

Can anyone tell me how to get these to work?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hi Jim,

Go to System Preferences -> Mission Control.

Look at the bottom half of the Mission Control window

Just to the right of the words "Mission Control:", click on the dropdown menu that's on the left, and choose F9.

Just below that, you'll see the prompt "Application windows:". Just to the right of those words, click on the dropdown menu that's on the left, and choose F10.

That will set F9 and F10 as they were in Snow Leopard.
