I hope when you place a program which does >such in the auto folder it will be fixed. I tried that (after my original post, I rtfm). It remaps the table OK, but the tables are reset after program exit. My guess is that GEMDOS does a Bioskeys() or maybe it saves and restores the calling program's tables.
