Regardez, the Dvorak keyboard hack: I wish to register a strenuous objection to scrambling the number keys in any hack used to implement the Dvorak keyboard remapping. There is, in fact, an A (U. S.) American National Standard for the Dvorak layout, and in that version the numeric keys are (emphatically) NOT scrambled. Typing is hard enough as it is, why make it worse? Incidentally, I learned to type Dvorak (ok, American Standard) a couple of years back, and use it when I'm feeling lazy and not in much hurry, as it is much less fatiguing but i'm still not very fast on it. Let me assure everyone that there is NO difficulty in switching back and forth. ------------------------------------------------ from the vicious cycle of: >>----->>-------------( Nathan C.
