Thanks to you and others that suggested keymaps. I hadn't
thought of that. It's a good computer science and software
fix, but it doesn't meet a kinesthetic requirement -- my
muscle memory is a hardwired digital program. It is
mutable, but I look like (and work like) a beginner for a
few days as I'm reburning the neurons. And then I've
handicapped myself for standard keyboards. (But the nice
thing about "standards" is that there are so many to choose
from. :-)
