(The way half-QWERTY typing works is you hit SPACE-y for t, SPACE-u for r, etc. For details on the half-QWERTY keyboard see:http://www.billbuxton.com/matiasHCI96.html#c2)I'mnot much of a LISP programmer, so any help I could get on this

Something like this seems to work:
(define-minor-mode right-hand-qwerty
"Qwerty for right-hand only typing."
(let ((keypairs '(("q" "p") ("w" "o"))))
(dolist (key keypairs)
(eval `(local-set-key (kbd ,(concat "SPC " (second key))) (lambda
() (interactive) (insert ,(first key))))))
(local-set-key (kbd "SPC SPC") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "
")))))
This helps you?
