One thing that I did notice in Zterm, the first time I ran it under system 7
was that it was not a happy creature, and the keyboard didn't work properly,
and the Directory menu wouldn't choose.

I had remembered reading about someone talking about the keyboard remapping, so
this meant that there was a KCHR resource.

I used Resedit 2.1 to copy it into system 7, (You could get it out just by
double clicking system 7, and draggin it out...;), and now zterm works fine.  I
selected the ZCHR (I think) resource, using the keyboard control panel program,
and everthing is back to normal. 

I don't have the slightest idea why this helped, and it may be entirely a
voodoo kind of approach that's not necessary...but it worked!...;)

I'm running a 4MB Mac Plus, gemini 25Mhz 68030accelerator, tons of inits, and
system 7 Golden.

(You figure it out...;)
