Warmest thanks to all those who sent information about keyboards, even
including those who told me to get a mouse! Germaine.

The laptop problem may be intractable, though old DOS users have long
reassigned keys using "ANSI.SYS". Unfortunately, Windows doesn't recognize
the reassignments.
My current Gateway keyboard has the configuration below:
F1 F2 ~ ! @ # ......etc.
F3 F4 Tab Q W E R T Y....
F5 F6 Caps A S D F....
Lock
F7 F8 Shift Z X C V....
F9 F10 Ctrl * Alt
Surely only a very strange mind could have thought this up.
Fortunately, the keyboard is programmable, so I've been able to switch
Ctrl to where Caps Lock was, Alt to where Ctrl was, and Caps Lock to where
Alt was. Now my fingers are happy.
The key is flexibility.
