I know that the Scribble! editor I have doesn't care about key mappings. It must use its own internal keymap. Also, MicroEMACS 3.9 did the same thing - an internal lookup table for translating raw keycodes to characters. I hope no-one is doing that sort of thing these days. -- Please note "ReplyTo:" field in header; "From:" field is incorrect. John Gallant
