I thought I could live with this keyboard, but the more things >I do with my computer, the less I like it. yeah, the new keyboard sucks. to remap the keyboard, run the keymapping application (its name escapes me right now, and i am not at a NeXT). redefining a keymap with it is trivial--the HELP covers its use well. the only 'tricky' part is installing the keyboard. first, you must save the keymap in (this could be slightly wrong--but it is easy to double check) either /NextLibrary/Keyboards, /LocalLibrary/Keyboards, or ~/Library/Keyboards. Then, that keyboard mapping will be listed when you run Preferences and you can select it. I haven't tried it yet, but i believe you can use this program to change control-key mappings and get kermit to work without changing the escape character.
