You mean, physically? Hmmm... One thing I really would like to be able to
do in Windows 95 is exchange the Caps Lock and Ctrl keys (and the Esc and `
keys). Our old DOS-level CAPSCTRL program, a couple simple lines of assembly
code, did this just fine in DOS, but obviously doesn't cut the mustard in
Windows.

An excerpt from a posting from this morning's news:
From: vefatica@syr.edu (Vincent Fatica)
Newsgroups: comp.os.ms-windows.win95.misc
Subject: Kermit95: 32-bit telnet with file transfer
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 1995 15:45:34 GMT
Organization: Syracuse University
...
I've been friends with Kermit for about 4 years and have used it on DOS,
Win3.1, Win95, OS/2, Linux, and remotely on Solaris, Sun, and Next. The
first thing I did when I got Kermit95 was to verify that I could achieve the
fast file transfer on a dialed connection that I was used to ... did it ...
3240 cps @28800 BAUD for uncompressible data (I don't often get that out of
zmodem). Having done that, I got rid of hyper-terminal. Then I verified that
it would telnet using the Win95 Winsock and SLIP or PPP ... did it
(excellent terminal emulation) ... then I got rid of QVT.
So I had to check out the file transfer during telnet ... not bad ... 2950
cps @28800 BAUD/SLIP for uncompressible data; FTP is a little faster, but
then, that's FTP, not telnet.
Last, I set up a Kermit95 client/server via null modem cable between my two
Win95 machines (486DX33 and P5-90). That was a lot easier to do than Win95's
direct cable connection and the file transfer was nice and fast (@115200
BAUD) in both directions.

Right. Actually, the best way to do this is to put:
KEYMAPS\blah.INI
in the "Read from file" box in the Keyboard configuration page. Because
really, all command files (scripts, ini files, etc) are executed with the
TAKE command. And in Kermit 95, the TAKE command looks in the SCRIPTS
subdirectory of the Kermit 95 installation directory if you only give the
file's basename.
