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.

Come to think, I didn't try it in the AUTO folder.  Will do so and
report back.
