Hello,

    I am working on a HP 9000/720 and the keyboard has no
display of the CAPS LOCK key.  This can be very inconvient because
the caps lock is very close to <esc> and I keep hitting one when
I want to hit the other.  Is there any way I can create a application
that will pop up (or light up or whatever) when I press that key.

I want it to work while I am in vi on a xterm window so I can't change
the application to display it.  I need something stand alone that
just watches that key.

Any ideas???
