I still have no idea what is going on. Is your AIX machine configured to
expect the Czech keyboard layout? Or, does your AIX machine expect a US
keyboard layout?
In fact, I barely understand how the various keyboard layout systems work...
nor do I have time to learn the intricacies of them.
I don't think I'll have any time within the next year to learn keyboard
layouts, so you'd better just work on it yourself if you want any changes
made.
Sorry, but I am incredibly busy now because I am in my last semester of
college.
Good luck,
Harold
