I just got a system with a 101 key keyboard and started going
crazy with the bad placement of the caps lock key right where
every other keyboard puts ctrl. So I wrote the following
terminate and stay resident program which fixes things up.
It makes the caps lock into yet another control key and the
otherwise useless F12 into a caps lock key. I was considering
mapping the other control keys into Alt, and those Alt keys into
Esc, but I thought that might be too confusing.
This program takes a mere 240 bytes away when placed in your
autoexec.bat file. Most of the space is used by DOS for
system administration. To make it as small as possible I relocate
the code into the program segment prefix. The actual "stay
resident" part is written in assembler, while the loader portion
is in compiled Forth (sources on request).
