I have a Macivory Model 3 which has been running under 7.0.1 for a
long time and I want to upgrade to MacOS 7.5. Unfortunately, although
Genera seems happy to start under 7.5, the Symbolics keyboard doesn't
run correctly--it thinks the Page key is the Line key, and it ignores
many important keys like (Line, Abort, Resume, Suspend, Function, and
Select). Perhaps needless to say, this makes it quite a pain when one
gets into an activity that has no Exit command expliclity in its
interface. :-(

I didn't try the native Mac keyboard, but I sure wouldn't be happy
with that as a long run solution... It looks really like mostly the
ASCII-compatible keys work. Anyone else tried this and gotten either
the same behavior (so I can know I'm not crazy) or a different
behavior (so I'll know there's hope).....? Anyone got a patch?
