Break key missing on Dell Studio XPS 1340?

I run Windows Server 2008 Enterprise on my laptop.   It’s stable, fast, secure, and offers great features like Hyper-V.    It also wasn’t meant for laptops so you need tricks from places like http://www.win2008workstation.com/wordpress/ 

A common keyboard stroke is Ctrl+Break in CMD or perhaps Ctrl+Alt+Break in a Hyper-V guest window to view full screen.    This keyboard has nothing labeled “Break” anywhere.   What!?    Come to find out, the F12 key does double duty.   If you want to hit Break and simply hit F12 on a tiny Dell keyboard like the XPS 1340 you’ll be pleased to learn everything works like normal.    Just took some guess work first.
