Can you program it to do "sticky keys?"  I mean setting the , , 
and  keys so that if you hit them once, the NEXT key hit will be 
affected by the shify, ctl or alt.  This is needed by the disabled who type 
with a stick and cannot press more than one key at a time.
There are utilities to do this with software in DOS or Windows, and it can be 
done in OS/2 (but it's clumsy to use), but there's no way to do it in Linux.  
I use a Northgate Omnikey programmable keyboard (very expensive and hard to 
get), and have been looking for other alternatives.
