Btw., mine is labelled "S-Abf", in some generous attitude of someone
who's been tranlating all of this stuff into German...  The worst is
however the "Control" key, somebody translated this into "Steuerung",
and abbreviated it to "Strg", so that people now constantly refer to
it as "Die String-Taste" ("The string key"). :-/

At least some of the syscons keymaps map it into a DDB request.
Nothing of historical dimension happens in pcvt though, it simply
sends out a NULL character.
