   I stuck a command in .bash_profile:   
   xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"   
      
   Which, so far, seems to do the trick at the cost of   
   notifying me I have no display when a terminal is started   
   in console mode.   
      
   It's been a while since I opened an M keyboard up and I'm not   
   sure there would be space for anything inside, or whether   
   I could insert teh ARM unit between the keys and the output   
   cable.   
      
   Thanks again Rich.
