I am not sure, but I think using the F1 key is a windows key command and
not specific to a screenreader.
What you get when you press the f1 key depends on the app you are using and
what you are doing.
Hopefully, there are others on this list who can clarify my statement.

Luke, no, I have never pressed the F1 key to get information. That is
because I never knew about it before today. Thanks to you and Gene, I will
have a new reference for learning.

As a note, the shift F1 works to explain the item I last stopped on.

One of the browse settings asks for the maximum number of characters
on one line.
Another question is how many lines on one page.
What should be the number entered for each?

Whatever you are comfortable with. Have you tried pressing F1 while on
either of those fields, to get a better understanding of what they are for?
