In case you need some encouragement...

One of these days, I'd like to do/see a presentation called "Journey of a
Keystroke" that walked through all the layers of mediation and
interpretation, and how they're controlled.  I'd like to know why --
sooner or later, with enough indirection via ssh/rsh -- the backspace key
starts being echoed as ^H when I mistype a search in less(1).  Extra
credit for explaining how to get the Compose key working in X in less than
30 minutes.  

We have all these knobs in case someone drops off an ADM 3A on the front
stoop (supposing anyone has one, front stoop that is), but a $9.99
bog-standard PC 101 can still bewilder.  

I hope that's encouragement?
