Programs like the latest version of Excel now use  the international
decimal denominator (, instead of .) to seperate the decimals from whole
numbers. But now the numeric keypad of my Mac SE loses most of its
handiness, because I when I enter numbers on that keypad, I still have
to use the 'typewriter' part to enter a comma.

This is also the case with many calculators. My question therefore:
is it possible for me to resedit the KEYS (or CAPS) file (part
of the control panel files) to re-arrange the numeric keypad '.' to be
a ','? I think it would be a mere change of a code somewhere in those
files, but I can't seem to find a logic in them. Any1 got more
technical info on those files?
