It now looks like I might have to do that extra step. If so, I wonder if there's some way I cam set up a custom keymap for my keyboard (some Labtech Y-RAC66 thing not in the list of keyboards), label it sensibly, and leave it somewhere on the net for the next poor victim. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
