The brain-damaged AT keyboard comes with the <ESCAPE> key in the wrong place. This is a minor problem, thanks to SCO. There is a utility called "mapkey" which solves the problem. You edit "/usr/lib/keyboard/keys", swapping the lines for scan-codes 1 and 41, and then change the number "1" to "41", and "41" to "1". Then swap keycaps on the keyboard (escape and the tilde-backquote). (When you do this, be sure to pry STRAIGHT UP !!!) Lastly, be root and run "/usr/bin/mapkey". Voila! It makes NO CHANGES to "/xenix"... only to that kernal data space containing the keyboard driver's definitions. Takes effect immediately. If you like it, simply add a line to the end of "/etc/rc" saying "/usr/bin/mapkey". It will then set the driver properly every time the machine boots. Effective for all console users. SCO isn't perfect, but they do include a lot of nice touches. --andys
