I prefer the North-American layout, even when typing German.  But that
is because I learned to touch-type decades ago.  At work, I have a
German LK464 which, however, I am not using at the moment, but rather
(shudder) a German HP PC keyboard.  This is because I now have to access
VMS systems via Exceed, and not via a VMS workstation (where I could
just plug in a keyboard directly, anything with the proper layout,
whatever the connector is).  I'm sure one can convert the keyboard to
send what a North-American layout would send, but is there anyway to get
ALL the keys to be properly interpreted in a DECterm running on a VMS
machine (and displayed in a CDE environment displayed on the PC monitor)
when the 464 is plugged into the PC?  As long as the alphanumeric keys 
come through to the PC that's fine; I don't care about the rest on the 
PC.  As it is, the alphanumeric keys come through to the DECterm OK, but 
the numeric keypad etc doesn't.
