Capslock in MINIX acts like shiftlock, shifting every character.  It
can be changed to only capitalize alphabetical characters by editing
the file /kernel/tty.c.

Change the line in the make_break function that looks like this:

	code = (shift1 || shift2 || capslock ? sh[c]:unsh[c]);

to
	if (capslock) {
		if (unsh[c] >= 'a' && unsh[c] <= 'z') code = sh[c];
		else code = unsh[c];
	}
	else code = (shift1 || shift2 ? sh[c] : unch[c]);

and then recompile and build the bootdisk as described in the book.
