I wrote a little program called P8KEYCHANGE that will change the key
from the numeral 8 to ESC, TAB or DELETE.  You can find the program as
P8KEYCHANGE1.1.SHK at cco.caltech or P8KEYCHANGE.SHK at grind.isca.uiowa.edu.
It is also available on American Online for those of you who don't have
ftp access.  If anybody wants to put it on Genie (I don't have an account
there), you are certainly welcome to do so.
The ftp sites had the files in the NEW.FILES and uploads directory,
respectively.
