I have just installed the 3.0e upgrade and i had noticed that /etc/setkey did
not exist after the upgrade (i had it in my .profile).  So, looking in /etc for
*key* i found prtkey and syskey.  

They look like they will do what i want, which is some minor keyboard
remapping, but i don't quite know how to use them, lacking documentation for
them.  The only manual i received for the upgrade was a new "Software
Development System Volume 1", which didn't contain documentation for these
commands.  Anyone know how to use them, or have the man pages for them?

$ syskey
get syskeys: Not a typewriter	#normally an error about bad argument
