Phew, this is a major mistake.  Why no one else has noticed this
before?

Thanks for the fixes.

A couple of questions:

What is the difference between swissgerman-1.iso.kbd and
swissgerman-2.iso.kbd?  I cannot read explanation in
http://www.attic.ch/keymaps.html ;-(

Do swiss keyboards have `dead' keys (or `accent' keys) with which you
generate accented characters?  Many European language keymaps have
a keymap with `dead' key definitions and another keymap without
`dead' key definitions (for example, fr.iso.acc.kbd and fr.iso.kbd).

>(Yokota/SOS): Does a reference ISO-keymap exist and is

I am afraid not.

>there a list of the important special key's with their
>meaning ?

Um, how about this?
