Hi all,

I'm using the dvorak keyboard driver made by beeyach_one (see below)
with an iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim bluetooth keyboard on a Windows Mobile
5 device. Installation was easy as described below. I'm very happy
someone went through the trouble of creating a dvorak layout for this
device, thanks! 

I'd like to change the layout a bit: I'm not too happy with the 'z'
being on the right of the shift key and I don't use the cursor keys
that much. How do I edit .kdb files for the stowaway drivers?

If beeyach_one is still subscribed, could you share a bit of the
wisdom you gained during your "much consternation and way too much
effort"? And maybe others know how to do this as well?

Cheers,
Aron
