hello,

i've just been through chapter 18 localization and i've experienced 
difficulty with making keymap work.
the thing is that keymap does not do anything without LANG env.var. 
being set (fully).
first, i don't understand why this is so.
second, there's no clearly stated this dependency in handbook.

yeah, the handbook says about setting LANG up but as i do not want to 
set all the LCs i didn't set any of them and decided to try scrnmap 
(which worked) and keymap (which didn't) first. only after that i wanted 
to start adding LC_COLLATE and some others.

therefore i reckon it would be better to clearly state this dependency 
(which i still don't understand).

thanks for the handbook anyway!

regards,

martin
