Works in Word, Notepad, Wordpad, browser and every other application that takes keyboard input. C-h k shows nothing when capslock pressed (maybe it shouldn't; I never tried it before) The only new thing I've noticed in my .emacs is a canlock customization line that is used by gnus, a package I never use anymore. I commented out this line from customization and also everything in .emacs that mentioned gnus but I still get no functionality by pressing capslock in Emacs. I should mention that I have reassigned the ctl, alt, windows, etc keys with the keytweak utility (edits scancode assignments in registry) and in fact the functionality of \| key and capslock are swapped but that first key still works in Emacs and both work everywhere but in Emacs. Are there any w32 Emacs packages that would mess with a scancode assignment and then reset it on exit from Emacs ??? Any help or even only insight into this problem would be appeciated. Thank you, Ed
