Keyboard Reassignments:
         ESC[#;#;...p                   Keyboard reassignment. The first
ASCII
         or ESC["string"p               code defines which code is to be 
         or ESC[#;"string";#;           changed. The remaining codes define
            #;"string";#p               what it is to be changed to.

         E.g. Reassign the Q and q keys to the A and a keys (and vice
versa).
         ESC [65;81p                    A becomes Q
         ESC [97;113p                   a becomes q
         ESC [81;65p                    Q becomes A
         ESC [113;97p                   q becomes a

         E.g. Reassign the F10 key to a DIR command.
         ESC [0;68;"dir";13p            The 0;68 is the extended ASCII code 
                                        for the F10 key and 13 is the ASCII
                                        code for a carriage return.
         
         Other function key codes       F1=59,F2=60,F3=61,F4=62,F5=63
                                        F6=64,F7=65,F8=66,F9=67,F10=68

   You can get the escape codes in the ASCII Art Resources file.  It is 
available from at least three FTP sites I can think of, and if you cannot 
FTP, you can get it by requesting it from me.

   For info on how to get AAR, see the ASCII ART FAQ posted in the three 
ASCII art groups and in most *.answers groups, and by fingering my account.
