I didn't see this in the FAQ, so here goes. I have the infamous "enhanced" 101-key IBM keyboard with the caps-lock and control keys in the wrong places. In the PCDOS world I've dealt with it by using a tiny TSR that listens to the keyboard; in the X11-unix world I just modifiy the keymap. But now that I'm using Windows 3.0 as well my left hand is going into spasms. Does anybody have any suggestions? I know there are replacement keyboards available that have switchable caps-lock and control keys, but I'd rather not shell out the bucks if there is something more reasonable to do. Info: IBM PS/2 Model 80 12Meg 8514/a running DOS 5.0, Windows 3.0. Thanks! -- Mark Hood mjh@zurich.ai.mit.edu "Wouldn't it be FABULOUS if ZIPMAN was in charge?"
