I would like some information about a command called "mapkey." It is supposed to be an ADM command but doesn't appear in that section of my manual. Specifically, someone in the past remapped my keyboard. Although I like some of the mappings, others I do not care for. It appears that this mapping is done around/at boot time. How does the file /usr/lib/keyboard/keys fit into the picture? For example, I want to map CAPSLOCK <-> CNTRL and I want this mapping to be in effect after each boot. Is mapkey appropriate for this case or is something else called for. I'm running SCO Xenix. Email will do. Thanks. bill palenste@umbc3.umbc.edu

The last line in /etc/rc is probably '/usr/bin/mapkey' thats what does the mapping each time you boot. Affects the console only of course.

The fkeyXX refer to the file /usr/lib/keyboard/strigs where the escape codes to be sent when that key is pressed are stored. I set this all up on my machine so the keyboard would look like a DOS keyboard when I run emacs. So emacs runs the same whether I am running DOS or Xenix.

Although I like > some of the mappings, others I do not care for.... I've found where the mapkey man page lives. It's in the Miscellaneous section of the manual. I was lead to believe that it lived in the ADM section because if you look at keyboard(HW) it says mapkey(ADM). Maybe I should have looked around more ( like in the permuted index ) but maybe not. It is a typo, plain and simple, and it lead me down the primrose path. Anyway, for those who are interested in customizing their console keyboard, my machine it set up like this. In one of the rc files the following appears: mapkey /usr/local/etc/keymap Read keyboard(HW) for more info on what the keymap file format is like (or use /usr/lib/keyboard/keys as a template). bill PS One person asked me to forward what I found out to him also. Sorry but the mail bounced. Hope this will do. Although I figured it out myself ( just a little slow ), I'd like to thank thank those who responded.
