  I would like to switch the "Caps Lock" key on my MacPlus keyboard
with the command (clover,propeller, whatever) key.  Is there an
easy (non-hardware) way to do this?  I looked at the Tech notes
on this subject, and I think what I need to do is to change the
KMAP resource in the System file, however, if I change it, it
seems to have no affect. I think this is used only on > SE class
machines.  Changing the mapping in the KCHR resource does work, but
only for non-modifier keys. (KCHR can be alterred to produce alternative
layouts like Dvorak, for example.)
  I realize that I'll have to disable the hardware locking mechanism
of the key, but I can handle that.(I think).
