Re: autoreplace [was auto-correct] in 3.58

Harry,

I remember something like this happening when I first modified my xy4.kbd way
back there in the 20th century. I seem to recall opening the standard issue kbd
and copying some of those 29's and 99's into my customized kbd. It worked.
Maybe the wise persons know more.
