   I've asked for this before, and I'll say it again.  VMS needs to have
   keyboard layouts for EDT and DEBUG that are PC friendly.  TPU's
   predefined keyboards should also have that variation.

   But I mean full PC keyboards, with all 3 keypads.  Anyone who wants
   to live without the other keypads can run vi and gdb, for all I care.
