   This change is made by editing the file config.tel. The two lines to
look for are:
                 localkeys = "{3,19,17}"
                 localkeys = on

   I removed the mappings entirely by changing the second line to
                 localkeys = off

   I suppose that you could remap the functions to different keys by
changing the numerical values in the first line.
