Subject: Can I disable with the 'Caps' key from software?

I have an HP 9000/345 running HP-UX 6.5.  One of the most fustrating things
I have to put up with is the poorly placed 'Caps' key.  This key is the same
size as the escape key, and is placed just above it.

This is absolutely fustrating when I am editing in vi and I hit 'Caps' rather
than escape.  It usually leaves my files in quite a mess.

What I want to be able to do is disable that key, or possible map it to 
'Esc' as well so that I will no longer have that problem.

Does anyone know of a way that that can be done?  

I use csh, and I run X11R4 if this provides any useful information

(I tried 'xmodmap -e "keysym Caps_Lock = Escape" '.  This cause the 
(Caps key to function as both a Caps and an Escape, and not just
(act as an escape.

Thanks in advance.

	Paul
