Mac keyboard mapings

[Greg Edwards]

Thanks Aaron.
Well I think I'll rebuild my nedit.rc for a start. It's gone through
Irix, various Red Hats, Suse's, and now MacOS, and from nedit 4.x to
5.5, it's certainly capable of harbouring some stuff that has degraded
over the years, like DNA SNP's.
Cheers,
GE.
