My impression is that mouseless keyboards were better! The |\ keys can (and have) be reassigned; but there are still conflicts in remote login situations. I wish NeXT would make the reveres L-shaped return key with a removable key-cap under which one can find the old \| key, for us TeX-ers. (What;'s worse, SoftPC -- where you really need the \ key, has put that one on the = of the keypad!). Greetings, Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.
