Dear Andreas, Thank you very much for the help. I tried what you provided but it did't work for me. I think I need to change other parts of the file. I think I understand the part you are providing. The part you don't show is the part I can't figure out. I don't know what to change in the "EIGHT_LEVEL", or "LOCAL_EIGHT_LEVEL" definitions to "make the right Alt key an ISO_Level3_Shift and some other key an ISO_Level5_Shift", etc.. I can use any of the three. I'd prefer what you think is best.
I would really appreciate it if you could help get me over the hurdle. Thanks!
