(User asks if one can remap shift key, etc. )

I'm assuming you're running BSD 4.3, not AIX.

	1) In console mode, use pf (in /usr/ibm/pf) to reprogram any key.
	2) In XV11R2, use xmodmap to change shift/control/lock keys, or
	3)  write your own program to change any key.  This requires that
	    you decipher the X11 "documentation."  I've tried to use
	    the function XChangeKeyboardMapping(), but it doesn't work.
	    Notes I sent to the appropriate newsgroup went unanswered.
