And Jeff says the SCO keys effect the change as well.  Now I remember my
complaint about doing this:

Yes, it will do that, but you have to put up with the rest of SCO's keymap
to get it.  That was always my complaint.  The newer versions accomodate
this by letting you have it the way it should be but using shift-backspace
to get the ^? code.

There's no way in hell I would have configured a linux box to use scoansi
(at least not for myself) for one key. :) That was my belief at the time I
tested it, and now it's a moot point.
