There is a program called `octopus' in /usr/public/bin that will
display key typed.

Here is sample output:

     binary  oct dec hex asc sym text
    10011011 233 155  9b     ~^[ Meta-Control-Open Square Bracket
    01000001 101  65  41  A   A  Capital-Letter-A
    10011011 233 155  9b     ~^[ Meta-Control-Open Square Bracket
    01000100 104  68  44  D   D  Capital-Letter-D
    10011011 233 155  9b     ~^[ Meta-Control-Open Square Bracket
    01000010 102  66  42  B   B  Capital-Letter-B
    10011011 233 155  9b     ~^[ Meta-Control-Open Square Bracket
    01000011 103  67  43  C   C  Capital-Letter-C

    Quit (y or n)? Yes.

I typed the arrow keys in the following sequence UP, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT.
Octopus says that:

	UP		0x9B A
	DOWN		0x9B D
	LEFT		0x9B B
	RIGHT		0x9B C

Amiga Unix has per screen keymaps that can be modified by the user.
The format of these keymaps are not documented at this time (because
they will change).

Use `sioc' to get or set the current keymap.  Some defaults are in
/usr/amiga/lin/kmap.

see ``man sioc'' and ``man kmap'' for more information.

Pax, Keith
