I believe it's in the release notes (although it should be in the manual page). In any event: mapkey /usr/lib/keyboard/cv I do this, even though I don't use codeview (generally, adb is enough for me 8-)), because I use emacs. Also note that it maps <CAPS LOCK> to <CONTROL>. This is easy enough to fix, if you wish (look at the file, and compare it to /usr/lib/keyboard/keys). -- Sean Eric Fagan | "I made the universe, but please don't blame me for it; sef@kithrup.COM | I had a bellyache at the time." -----------------+ -- The Turtle (Stephen King, _It_) Any opinions expressed are my own, and generally unpopular with others.

From the Release and Installation Notes for SCO UNIX System V Development System (a document marked 18 July 1990/3.2.2), page 8: The file /usr/lib/keyboard/cv, which is included in your standard distribution, must be renamed to replace the file /usr/lib/keyboard/keys in order to access the special functions of keys used in conjunction with the <Alt> key. The original /usr/lib/keyboard/keys file should be saved as a precaution. For example, to perform the above described operation, log in as root (the super user) and give the following commands: mv /usr/lib/keyboard/keys /usr/lib/keyboard/keys.bkp cp /usr/lib/keyboard/cv /usr/lib/keyboard/keys You should also add the following command to the /etc/rc file to direct your system to customize the keyboard automatically at boot time: mapkey However, if your system has an <F12> key, the <Alt> key functions can be used by first pressing <F12> and then the <Alt><key> combination needed.
