Hum? Try running the program showkey. It prints out the key codes for the
keys you press. Can you post the results. If you are translating the codes
into XT scancodes then it shpould make what I get with showkey. BTW make
sure  you tell me what keys you pressed.


P.S.

  As I move to californis these next 2 weeks my email service will be
switching. This means I will not be able to read my email from  Friday
until October 2.
