That's good thinking Kevin! but I have no idea whether it will work; someone will just have to try.
I need to go give this script another try; I had problems with the remap when I first used it, but I think it was because I was unloading and reloading window eyes. these days WE just stays loaded all the time thank goodness. Kim, the script is named "ReMap capslock", and you'll also need to install the homer shared object library if you want to try this.
