I still have no idea what is going on.  Is your AIX machine configured to
expect the Czech keyboard layout?  Or, does your AIX machine expect a US
keyboard layout?

In fact, I barely understand how the various keyboard layout systems work...
nor do I have time to learn the intricacies of them.

I don't think I'll have any time within the next year to learn keyboard
layouts, so you'd better just work on it yourself if you want any changes
made.

Sorry, but I am incredibly busy now because I am in my last semester of
college.

Good luck,

Harold
