That is the function key on your keyboard.
It can be used in conjunction with other keys on this computer to produce different results. It sounds like you have a notebook.
Looking at my keyboard, the function key combinations on a Dell are:
Fn + esc = Standby mode
Fn + f1 = Hibernate mode
Fn + f2 = Enabled/Disable Wi-fi (wireless networking)
Fn + f3 = open battery meter
Fn + f8 = Switch between monitors (lets you use your external monitor or S-Video)
Fn + f10 = eject the CD tray
Fn + end = mute
Fn + page up = volume up
Fn + page down = volume down
Fn + up arrow = increase brightness on screen
Fn + down arrow = decrease brightness
Fn + pause = break
Fn + prnt scrn (print screen) = SysRq (clears copied information so it doesn't get pasted)
Fn + num lk = scroll lk
Fn + 7, 8, 9, 0, u, i,o,p,j,k,l,;,m keys = corresponding keys on a standard desktop numpad. (The righthand set of numbers more akin to calculator layout)
Hope this helps!

the F11 key
I think only laptops have a Function key, pressed in combination with a number key to change settings like dim the LCD and so on.
