Not sure if this is what the Mac does... different keyboard layout 
depends on what keyboard you attach to your computer; not on what 
language zone (?) you are in.
Those keyboard layouts have little country flags next to them, but those 
reflect only the kind of keyboard they expect to run on, nothing else.

On the GS, you use the control panel to tell the computer what keyboard 
you have. The way in which this is done means that you can also do it 
from software. But there is no way for the computer to find out what 
kind of keyboard is attached to it.

Or do you mean that you want your keyboard to do things the Mac can, 
like generate a � by pressing option-u and then I? That is possible as 
well, although it does mean that you have to put a new keyboard 
translation table in your Sys.Resources file...
