i All,
   I've got a couple of questions for all you keyboard fans out there. 
   In using some terminal emulation packages (i.e., Versaterm and
   Kermit), the forward quote (`) key on my Apple extended keyboard
   doesn't produce a forward quote.  Rather, it sends an escape code.
   This only becomes annoying when I have to use LaTeX, where an 
   open double quote is actually two forward quotes.  The ways I've
   found around this are:

   for Kermit:  change the Key macro to the correct character.

   for Versaterm: create an option-key macro.

   Since I use versaterm the most, I would like a better method to generate
   the forward quote.  Is there some resource I can alter so that this
   key does what its labelled for? 

   Oh .. and another question, is there a way to turn the numeric keypad
   on with some keyboard combination?  I know there's a num lock light
   for some purpose...

   Any help would be greatly appreciated!
