It is useful for DOS, but I don't know how many people will make use
of it. My KEYMAP page now shows, for example, the hex codes applying
to ALT-X for ABORT and F1 for HELP. To interpret the hex codes, you
would need to look up the corresponding key in the djgpp.key or
pdcurses.key file (whichever is appropriate for that build). The
*.key files in the docs subdirectory show the keymapping for the 3
possible ways to build the DOS port: pdcurses, slang, or slang with
DJGPP keyhandler. I believe that Wayne usually builds with PDCurses. I
usually build with SLang with the DJGPP keyhandler. It is the default
mappings of these values that I was worried about with the changes to
LYKeymaps.c.
