It ain't easy! I've been playing with it off and on for a little while,
and still haven't gotten it right.
Start with 'man kbdmap'. 'man kbdcontrol' also gives some clues. I haven't
found the 'perfect' keymap. Each of the default ones has problems. Either=
they
give you the meta key and take away things like PgUp & PgDn, or the meta
key stuff doesn't work quite right. If you get a working keymap, let me
know!
