Richard,
	I don't know if this will merit the WA State map, but try
http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/winntutil.html
(for NT) to turn your CapsLock key into a Control key. There are similar
utilities for others flavors of Windows, usually created by emacs lovers.
	If you would only use Xwindows and UNIX why the solution is
obvious (xmodmap).
	The other alternative is to buy a programmable, ergonomic keyboard
like my Kinesis keyboard (no stock, no paid endorsements - only happy
fingers). That way you can turn A into Z if you like.
Andy
