The mappings I use I use for EDT.  I don't use EVE.  Jeremy would need to:

1. run XEV on his Alpha
2. get the code for [Do]
3. pick a key on the Mac for a [Do] key
4. run XEV and get its key code
5. modify the .Xmodmap as required.

I'm using a Toshiba laptop running Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) most of the time.
It has a numeric keypad built in but no alternate keypad "island" between
the QWERTY and numeric keypad as is found on an LK keyboard; thus, I have
become pavlovianly conditioned not to rely on that "island" anymore.  My
.Xmodmap does NOT address any of the keys in the alternate island on the
Mac keyboard should they be of use/interest to Jeremy.
