Until now I have encountered a few problems I'd like to have solutions for:

	1. In my terminal emulator (uw) I can use both the Command-key and
	the Control-key as control key. However in sys 7
	command-key:space doesn't do anything, while before (6.0.7) it mapped
	in Control-key:space. Because Control-key:space maps into 'Mark set'
	in emacs, I think I am marking a position while I am not. A
	subsequent 'delete-region' has disastreous consequences if you
	find out a day or so later.
	How can I get back the Command-key:space -> Control-key:space mapping.

	2. I want to be able to generate (encapsulated) postscript for
	inclusion in LaTeX (psfig), not the postscript generated by
	the laserwriter driver with all the TT font definitions in it. 
	What are the possibilities (commercial or otherwise)? Can I
	tell the laswerwriter driver to forget about the font definitions?

	3. I have a plus/2MB, a II/8MB, and a DW in a network. I'd
	like to  boot the plus over the network from the two by means
	of a floppy (800K). I heard that the LC (or classic) was able
	to do this. Is there a way to make my plus diskless, while
	still running sys 7?

	4. On the plus the only fonts installed are TrueType helvetica and
	times. I have a deskwriter (driver 2.0) but use the TrueType
	fonts  instead of the deskwriter fonts. When printing, all
	applications  except for Excel 2.2a act as expected: they
	complain about missing DW fonts, say that the bitmapped fonts
	will be used and, ofcourse, end up using the TT fonts (looks perfect).
	However, printing from Excel (on the plus) yields the same
	messages, but actual bitmapped font output. But I don't have
	bitmapped fonts installed! Is this a memory shortage and a
	subsequent font substitution of invisible built-in bitmapped fonts?
	E.g., built-into the system to deal with menu/window titles
	etc., which get to be used when there is insufficient memory for the
 	required TT font? This problem does not occur on the II.

Thanks in advance.
