The overwhelming response I have received about the keyboard mapping in 
NCSA Telnet 2.3b* is that it basicly sucks.  Most people would like to have
keyboard re-mapping similar to the way Kermit allows re-mapping of keys
to any arbitrary string.  I am in the process of adding this feature to replace
my abortive earlier attempt at keyboard re-mapping. I plan on making the
keyboard re-mapping fully compatible with Kermit re-mapping files so people
will not have to change them to work with NCSA Telnet.  If anyone has other
ideas for changing the Kermit format of re-mapping, i.e.
	set f1="string"
Please drop me a line at:

P.S. In response to  the original note, NCSA Telnet 2.3b(8,9) allow the use
	of the shifted f11 & f12 keys as macro keys also, but I couldn't find
	a good re-mapping for f11 & f12, so I just left them alone.
