I just bought an Applied Engineering Viewmaster-80 card for my ][+ and I'm 
having trouble using it with CP/M.  

My machine is homebuilt, not an official Apple, and it has a full keyboard. 
The AE card traps out ^A to switch its case lock, and it traps out ^K to
generate a left bracket.  I want to disable the ^A and ^K trapping, so that I 
can use the Turbo Pascal editor with its default key bindings.  WordStar does
the disable just fine, but I believe that's because WordStar has its own
keyboard driver to allow typeahead.  There's no documentation in the AE manual
telling how the traps can be disabled, if indeed they can be without writing a
keyboard driver. Because the card is Videx compatible, I'm wondering if
there's info in the Videx manuals that describes what I need.  Can anyone out
there help me? 

Thanks,
