Well. I got such good response to my last question (thanks everybody!)
that I decided to throw a few more onto this hapless mailing list.

1. DEC, in its infinate wisdom, decided to put a "hold screen" key
   where everyone else would like an ESC on its Vaxstation 2000...
   I.E. The key toggles between sending ^S & ^Q characters. This appears
   to be hardwired into the keyboard. On the ordinary Vaxstation II, it's
   a function key that you can redefine to be ESC under X or your
   favorite window package. No such luck here. Help. This is driving me
   crazy. I even went so far as to redefine ^S and ^Q (unshifted/meta'd)
   as ESC, but having to do I-searches in emacs with ctrl-shift-s or
   whatever was worse (this was under X).

   I'm open to hardware mods, whatever..
