Actually, if I press the key twice in some apps, I get it.  However, Im 
back to using Mozilla Mail (Evolution and Sylpheed dont work under the 
2.5 kernels), and for some reason it is about the only app that keeps me 
from doing that hack.  At this point, though, Id have to get a USB 
keyboard- I got rid of PS/2 support in the BIOS and in the 2.5 kernel, 
and dont feel like compiling a new kernel for a while.
