These lines, or something like them may do what you want. 105 meta fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 O 106 meta fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 O 107 esc fkey64 fkey64 fkey64 fkey64 fkey64 fkey64 fkey64 O 108 nop nop nop nop nop nop nop nop O Note: this will not carry over to X. Also, the numbers of the keys are different in X, so no X program can give you the right answers about console keymaps. -- Lars Eighner eighner@io.com -finger for geek code- http://www.io.com/~eighner/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN tx 78753-5266
