   So when you see the next version of MicroEMACS, it will have
   a user changable upper/lowercase mapping function (which is working
   right now).

Same for Freemacs.  I also used to take over the keyboard interrupt (INT 9),
but some of the international users complained that it broke their keyboard
mapper (not to mention the fact that it lost with TSRs), so I took it out.
