	That sound interesting. I'm another devoted caps-lock non-fan... maybe
I'll try it out in my terminal program & use "capslock" for a keypad lock
or something.

Because then CTRL-^ (CTRL-6) gets left out in the rain. Let me think about
it, though... oh, you get into that further down... I prefer just using
ctrl-x without any further rigamarole, myself.

How about doing something about cursor keys? I always have a soft spot in my
heart for the ADM-3a layout: it makes some ASCII sense, and is right there
on the keyboard...
