Remapping Keys
It's been a long time since my fingers have had to know the Commodore keymappings (i.e., that '"' is on Shift-2 and '@' is on Shift-'.)

Also, I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to generate a '#' character! (It warms my heart to see that Shift-3 makes a british pound, but this ain't no C-64 anymore -- I need to add comments to my ".scr" scripts! :-) )

Is there a way to get the keymappings that my fingers are used to?

Also, I was a little confused to find that even though my xmodmap settings set the "Caps Lock" key to generate a Control_L, under eterm it's reverted back to being a [annoying] caps lock again. :-(

Is the Amiga reading raw keycodes, rather than X key bindings? Ick!

If that's the case, is there a way to swap and/or override Caps Lock so it'll act like Control (I'm a Unix weenie, what can I say?)
