This is a "feature" of the "new" and "improved" keyboards.  I suggest that
you call your NeXT salesperson and ask them to provide you with a keyboard
that isn't deficient.  Perhaps they can even swap your "new" keyboard for
a "classic" keyboard that doesn't exhibit this problem.

The answer when I'm not pissing and moaning about the new keyboard, and the
one that NeXT is likely to foist on you is to use the "Keyboard" application
to define a new keyboard map that includes these characters on someother key.
Look in /NextDeveloper somewhere for it.
