- OK, I tried this and I get the same behavior in an HPterm. I popped
- up an Xterm and it works (as expected) CAPS or no-CAPS.

- When my company bought our HP's (720's & 750's) our tech rep brought
- us a program called "capsind" which puts a caps lock indicator window
- in the VUE workspace manager bar. It was free and consequently,
- unsupported. Regardless, I can't imagine working without it. Of
- course I also couldn't imagine designing a keyboard *without* a Caps
- indicator light on it either ;-)

- Yea, this will work, but I'd rather have HP fix the problem.
