        So is the 'm'.  I have a bit more complicated question which has
as much to do with my own software as my computer's.   I have an OS/2
system at home with an ergonomic keyboard set up (via software) to dvorak.
As a result, I have developed an interesting power/weakness.  If I sit
down at my ergonomic keyboard, I can type away in dvorak.  I can also us a
standard qwerty keyboard without a problem.  Sit me down at an ergonomic
qwerty kb or a standard dvorak and I'm in trouble.  
        This makes life a little complicated because i'd like my linux box
(RH5.2 - axp) to be set up for dvorak.  I do most of my work in front of
it, but I also must occassionally telnet in from other locations.  I can't
garantee what kind of keyboard I'll have at the terminal.  
        Is there a way of easily switching back and forth between the two
keyboard layouts?  I have found some switches which work ofr my window
manager, but don't effect the console.  An acceptible fix would have to be
universal for the user.  Oh yes, that raises the other problem.  I'm not
the only user on the system.  Is it possible for one user to have one
layout at the same time another user has a different layout?    

Thanks
