    OK, intrepid developer-like objects, we admit it! We don't
    know where this sample came from and we don't know anything about
    its original intent. However, since we're super-geniuses, we were
    able to make up a plausible story.

    Say you're a terminal emulator. And you have to run on a Mac Plus.
    With us so far? Now, the Plus doesn't have a control key, but you'd
    really like to pretend it does. So you use the option key. Here's where
    the problem comes in.

    The default behavior of KeyTrans is to support umlauts and other
    fun letter modifiers by making option-U, for example, into a
    "dead" key which results in no keystrokes but modifies subsequent
    keystrokes. So when you type option-U followed by a u, you get: ''.
    And there was much rejoicing, except in Terminal Emulator Land.
    There, the people were downtrodden, as they had no way to tell
    their UNIX command line to clear.

    So, you ask, why don't I just install my own keymap? Well, that'd
    be swell for all us qwerty people, but the people who type on those
    keyboards with all the keys rearranged would really hate it (Hi Quinn!)
    and they'd have to relearn the icky qwerty (try typing that 5 times
    fast) layout again after they'd gone to all the effort of rearranging
    their keycaps on the keyboard so they'd feel funny (they're not all
    the same shape, you know). So...
    
    This sample shows how to patch KeyTrans in order to completely
    ignore the dead-key processing that goes on and lets you type those
    fancy accented characters. You're back in 7-bit ASCII days now,
    bucko. Enjoy.
