	Here is some code you can put in your user.ps to swap the CapsLock and
Control key under 3.0 and 3.1c.  I suggest that you actually imbed it your
RestartActions array, just to be safe.  This code uses undocumented operators
and constants, so who knows how it will work in future releases!
	It is possible to change any key, but the code below is pretty much
hard-coded to do what it does, and is not a flexible facility for arbitrary
key remapping...
