One of these days, I'd like to do/see a presentation called "Journey of a Keystroke" that walked through all the layers of mediation and interpretation, and how they're controlled. I'd like to know why -- sooner or later, with enough indirection via ssh/rsh -- the backspace key starts being echoed as ^H when I mistype a search in less(1). Extra credit for explaining how to get the Compose key working in X in less than 30 minutes. We have all these knobs in case someone drops off an ADM 3A on the front stoop (supposing anyone has one, front stoop that is), but a $9.99 bog-standard PC 101 can still bewilder. I hope that's encouragement? --jkl
