You can press and release them and the next character will behave as if they are held down. They don't lock though. You can find more information about this in section 15.1 of the Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO. In fact the article tells you how to do all kinds of cool and exciting stuff with your keyboard. As a word of warning, changes in one console act accross the board. So don't figure that you can change virtual consoles to bail out. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net
