- Sounds like you either have a beta of one of our international
- keyboards, or somehow configured the system to believe that you
- do have an international keyboard. Try using the 'Keyboard' program
- from the tools menu on the toolchest to set it back to US, and see
- if that fixes it. Try running '/etc/nvram > /usr/tmp/nv' first, and if
- running the keyboard tool fixes it, I'd be interested in having you
- mail me the contents of /usr/tmp/nv.
