This may be more of an Arev topic than an Arev32 topic, but I thought I will post it here first.

I am converting an Arev system to Arev32. A previous, but ingenious developer was able to to Swap the "Tab" key with the "Alt-T" and the "Alt -T" with the Tab key. Users were able to move between prompts by tapping on the "Tab" and "Shift-Tab" keys. When the "Alt T" key was used, it tabbed the cursor by x characters. Whatever was done, was global, since it behaved the same in the Sysprog account.

I need to duplicated this in Arev32.

Any help with this is an greatly appreciated.

Thanks Andrew. Unfortunately the Utility docs were not installed in Arev and I didn't have a computer with a 3.5 Floppy drive. But I did manage to find "Tech Bulletin 59 on Redefining Keys in Advance Revelation". All I had to do was to copy the original KEY.DEFINITIONS record from the SYSENV table.

Thanks Again!
