Tried this.  The problem is,  Wordworth (and Typesmith) do not recognise 
the new keymaps properly.  They notice a difference, but insert different 
ASCII characters e.g. they say I have pressed ASCII 188 when the keymap 
should give 170 etc.  It is OK with moving standard printing characters 
around to different keys though.
