Jules,
Check out
The first hit on a google search for remap keys
(http://tinyurl.com/bzflh which is a short link to
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2
005-22,GGLG:en&q=remap+keys)
is http://tinyurl.com/cwtav which is a short link to
http://channels.lockergnome.com/news/archives/20040802_remapping_keys_in
_windows_2000_and_xp.phtml
Here is some of the text:
"Windows 2000, XP and 2003 Server have the ability to remap incoming
keystrokes through a registry entry. "Remapping" keystrokes means to
reassign what key refers to what character or function, allowing (for
instance) the left Shift key to be treated as the left Ctrl key. Windows
interprets keystrokes through keyboard scan codes....Editing them is not
easy, unfortunately, since the scan codes are stored in a
not-so-user-friendly way. To aid in creating and modifying keyboard scan
codes, a number of third-party utilities have been written. One of the
best and most useful is Sharpkeys 1.1, which can be used to interpret
scan codes from any keyboard by simply pressing the keys. The resulting
scan codes can then be saved to the registry (and then copied out of the
registry and re-used on other machines if needed). The program requires
the .NET framework to run. If you want to learn how to edit your own key
mappings, Microsoft has a document that describes the exact syntax for
key mapping."
The link to Sharpkeys is dead on the above page. Here is the correct
link to download Sharpkeys:

Subject: [skychart-discussion] Help with using left arrow
My laptop computer that I use with CDC in the field has a broken left
arrow key that is used to move the chart east on the screen. How can I
replace that key with another so that I don't have to go to the "move"
menu and use several strokes to move the chart.
No mouse in the field with my setup.
Great program, I use it almost every day, and with every night observing
session, but I do not want to have to buy another computer for astronomy
use.
