	I wrote a journaling program that took over the keyboard and
	recorded the keystrokes, then re-inserted them into the system.
	When you played it back, it would again re-insert the keystrokes
	into the system.  It would also come in useful for alternate 
	input devices (for the physically imparied, for example): if a person
	could not manipulate a normal keyboard then perhaps they could
	manipulate a special one, which would require special system software
	to support it.
