Richard..
have no idea why IBM is not jumping to Mr. Gates tune and modifing the
keyboards on ThinkPads to suit Mr. Gates desire..
(we all know, Mr. Gates COULD buy IBM if he were so disposed)
BUT, given that the keys do not exist, you CAN remap keys..
there is a small applet that will let you do this..
whether it will work for the win95 keys, i do not now know, but i feel
sure, someone will pop in with the mechanics..
it all comes down to what the code is that is sent to the computer..
stay tuned to this station for more, after this brief message.. :-)
