*My* keyboard? It's any swedish/finish keyboard at least. Maybe
it is common on other european keyboards also, I don't know.

And no, it can't be removed, that would break *a lot* of
production DCL routines...

But I can't believe that this isn't well known, that there are
different keyboard layouts out there. But then, maybe it is as
unknown as that there are other tools than Basic also... :-)
