   Bonjour Antoine,   
      
   thanks for your hints!   
      
   I think I didn't make that clear, it is not an emulated IIGS, it's the   
   real thing.   
      
   So the translation table should be in sys.resources? I fired up all my   
   resource editors: Genesys, Foundation, ResEdit.IIgs, rEdit ;)   
   I could not see anything that resembled a translation table. Then I dug   
   into my old IIGS programming manuals for Apple IIGS Toolbox Reference   
   Volume 3 and found that the type of resource should be $8021   
   rKTransTable. Unfortunately, there was none such resource.   
      
   Also, I got it wrong: When looking at my emulated machine which runs   
   6.0.1 (original images from my real IIGS), the keyboard mapping was also   
   wrong. So somehow it got lost before the update to 6.0.4. I looked at   
   the Install disk of GS/OS 6.0.2, but there is no translation table as well.   
      
   But I am absolutely sure I was able to write perfectly normal with my   
   German keyboard back then!   
      
   Does anybody have a sys.resources file with a translation table for me   
   to start?   
      
   Regards   
   Dirk
