You do realize if I had any idea what the page was supposed to look like - or how to find that out - I wouldn't be asking. The only example of a keymap(5) page I can find is for minix, which might as well be Greek so far as its relevance to FreeBSD is concerned. I'm not going through a checklist: "Aha, man page missing, 5 points off!" I attempted to pull up the page because it seemed to me it might contain particular information (the list of valid values that can be plugged into the keymap tables) that I needed and that I did not know how to discover otherwise. I still don't know how to discover that information otherwise. -- Lars Eighner eighner@io.com http://www.io.com/~eighner/ Save the whales! Collect the whole set!
