Subject: Remapping the EVIL Caps-Lock Key!

I have an AT clone (Hyundai 286c) which I like very much.  The only
thing I dislike are the positions of the <caps-lock> and <ctrl> keys on
the AT-style keyboard.  I much prefer the <ctrl> key to be where
<caps-lock> is now, and for <caps-lock> to not exist--the only time I
type <caps-lock> is by accident!

Is it possible to remap these keys within DOS, or do I have to perform
electrical surgery to the keyboard itself?  I know that individual
applications sometimes allow key-mapping, but I want to remap these
keys once and for all at the lowest possible level.

Please reply by mail, I'll summarize once it's been proven that this
is either possible or impossible.

Thanks!
