Correct me if I'm wrong but you're obviously running a Microsoft Softcard
(or copy) with CP/M 2.2x.  CP/M is doing the trapping cause most apples
can't type a '[' so ^K is trapped and translated.  This also is done so that
^B becomes '\', ^U is a tab, and there's one other I can't remember, maybe
^@ or something.
You need to run configio.bas, which will read and write the I/O configuration
block where keyboard characters get redefined.  This utility comes with Ms
CP/M 2.2x.  You may be able to get some help with the ^A trapping from AE,
since this isn't one of the standard chars trapped by CP/M.  Check for it
anyway in the keyboard character redefinition table with configio.bas.
