Thanks go to Robert A. Fisher for his reply - the only one. Basically I
wanted the non-X equivalent of the xev/xmodmap commands. As he suggested
loadkeys/dumpkeys will do the trick. I have created a short script which
sets the keys correctly on our KVM. Can't get the UK pound sign to be
set though! :-)


Thanks,

John.
