For whatever reason, gnus is having a problem with allowing me to
follow-up to your message.  I apologize for the lack of thread
integrity.

This was the way I initially had things.  With things this way I was
having the revert problem.  I thought possibly using the customizations
files would solve this.  If, upon restart or reloading customizations,
the user file is read last it _should_ work.

Actually, no.  I want the insert key as I have no keypad.  I did select
the laptop layout because I am using a laptop.  I chose insert over caps
lock because caps lock is set to hyper for emacspeak.  I have the win
logo key as well as the insert key set as insert via .Xmodmap.

I still wonder whether I need to import anything at the top of the
customizations files.

As do I.  I do realize I am probably using orca in a way it might not
have been used before.  Most users are probably using orca, only orca,
and using the default modifier keys.

Thanks again,
