[net.micro.mac] Euro to American keyboard query

I recently had my Mac w/American keyboard upgraded to Plus in the U.K.
I did not want the new keyboard, and unfortunately the system does not
map keys correctly for an Amerian keyboard.  I can currently work by
booting from an old system, and then changing to the new, but does
anyone know how to change the system's mind about my keyboard?
Thanks in advance,

Michael Fischer

Your problem stems from the fact that you are using a UK system disk with a US
keyboard.  The best solution is to get a US system disk, but barring that,
you can copy the resources INIT 0 and INIT 1 from your older disk to your
newer.  This may not work if your old system is too old however.  Then again
there may be a utility that you have to do just that (REdit and Localizer come
to mind.)
