Re: how to add symbols to keycaps--Ideas Welcomed

What I usually do is find some keycaps that have the right markings and
modify the
underside to permit fitting them on or, if necessary, gluing them to the KB
switch stem. >>
I have a membrane keyboard protector that I have been saving, maybe this is
the time to break it out to keep the keys looking "cool."
I'm not looking at rearranging the keys caps, as I did on my //c to learn the
DVORAK keyboard. I'd like to continue using the regular keycaps and just add
to them.
What's that clear label-making machine called? I used to use one twenty years
ago when I worked in drafting. Spin the wheel, like a big Dynamo Label Maker,
and it printed out the letter on a transparent, plastic tape. I don't remember
if the lettering was placed on the underside or on top of the tape, though.
