RE: remapping VO keys?
There is a way to remap the VO keys using two applications--PC Keyboard Hack and Key Remap for Macbook. I don't seem to have the instructions, but I believe they should be in the list archives. I believe it was discussed on this list, though I am on two lists and may have obtained the info from the other one.

Re: remapping VO keys?
Hi Marsha and others, Keyremap4mackbook will remap the mac keyboard in many ways. I have mine set up with VO as the caps lock key. you can also change the keys to give you a set of VO keys on the right side of the space bar. This keeps my fingers from geting tangled up. This app can also give you a number pad on the laptop keyboard using letters on the right side of the keyboard. I understand this even works with the keyboard commander.

Hello Zameer. First off, welcome to the list. This is a great resource if you have any questions about the mac. As for your question, I don't believe you can map the VO keys.
