[net.emacs] GNU keymaps

lamy@utai.UUCP (Jean-Francois Lamy) (09/16/86)

Is there an easy way to change the meaning of a key for the current
buffer in GNU Emacs? -- no, I presume --

Is there an easy way to construct a variant on a sparse keymap?
I tried 

(defvar mh-resend-mode-map (copy-keymap mh-letter-mode-map)
  "keymap for resending msg.")
(define-key mh-resend-mode-map "\^C\^C" 'mh-distribute-letter)

where mh-letter-mode-keymap was previously defined as a sparse keymap,
but both keymaps were affected -- gee... I thought copy meant copy...

Thx muchly.
