Overview:
If you've been using the BeOS much in the UK you've certainly noticed a few glitches in the keymap.  The obvious ones are the numeric keypad reversal and the top-left key doing a ~ instead of a ¨ symbol.  Well theres plenty more of those.  Numbers and symbols shifting in some states, earlier versions had no backslash and the command/option-key (Windows key on PC 105 key keyboards) combinations that are supposed to generate more symbols are completely messed up.

So what's this?  Well I started with the default UNITED STATES keymap and changed things.

Features:
	o	Euro symbol support
	o	Correct numeric pad
	o	CAPS only affects alpha characters not symbols and numbers
	o	Shift a letter in CAPS mode and you'll get a lower-case
		letter
	o	All control-codes work as they should
	o	All symbols correctly mapped as they would be in DOS/Windows


Notes:

Command/Option-4 and Command/Option-E

Now give "Euro" symbol when using a font that correctly contains it in it's unicode place (download Microsoft's Arial etc to see it for yourself).  This does mean that Command/Option-4 no longer gives a 'cents' symbol.

Shift-Backslash			
Gives unbroken solid bar despite being shown as broken on the keyboard.  This	is because BeOS programmers need this unbroken symbol and that key gives an unbroken symbol in DOS and Windows when using UK keymaps.  The broken vertical bar can be found on Command/Option-` where the unbroken line in shown.
