I type using the Dvorak keyboard arrangement, and have been able to find software which re-maps the keyboard for me on every computer system that I have used except for our school's Vax (which runs VMS). Can anyone point me to some code which I might execute with my login.com file? Any other suggested solutions (besides remotely logging in through a Mac)? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

It is the terminal that is reading your keystrokes and sending the appropriate character to the VAX. From what I have seen with one of the people here, the only way you can set up the terminal with a Dvorak keyboard is to have someone blow another ROM for your keyboard. (He knew someone at DEC who was also a Dvorak user, and so was able to get a non-standard keyboard.) I am not sure whether the ROM is part of a one chip keyboard controller or whether it is separate. The only other possibility that I can think of is for someone to write a piece of code that could intercept the characters from the terminal and remap them to their equivalent Dvorak keyboard position. -- Jonathan M.
