Hi there,

last week I switched to System Upgrade 6.02 and found a bug in the system 
which was reported to Apple long ago and hasn't been fixed yet.

Meanwhile it has been affirmed throughout Europe. It affects all the
keyboards with reversed 'Z' and 'Y' keys (i.e. France, Germany, Sitzerland,
etc.).

It's very simple: On these keyboards, the Ctrl/Z and Ctrl/Y key 
combinations are exchanged. Just as if it were an US keyboard...
The bug itself lies in the "KCHR" resource; I assume it has simply been 
overlooked (Though it has been told to Apple at least a year ago).

That's a very nasty bug when you use a terminal emulator :-( so, Apple, 
please fix it.
