This one is really easy: (for most programs :-( )
For an ST you can redefine the keyboard tables: these have three tables:
1 normal
2 with a shift key
3 with capslock on
Just map 3 to one and you are finished. I hope when you place a program which does
such in the auto folder it will be fixed.
1) the order of the tables could be different.
2) i don't know the exact trap nr (Should be bios or xbios) and function nr.
Klamer.
