Subject: how to swap ctrl/caps lock keys for joe?

Hi, folks --
Under BasicLinux I've recently installed the joe editor for its
jstar capabilities (which mimic WordStar). The actual DOS WordStar
editor added a small binary to switch your Caps Lock and left
Ctrl keys to make it easier to manipulate the WordStar navigation
and command key combinations with the left small finger. (The
older computer keyboards didn't have two Ctrl keys -- there was
a Ctrl key just to the left of the "a" key that made Ctrl key
combinations easy.) Under Linux, however, one must deal with
key assignments under various shells and other programs that often
change for each of these applications. I have not found in the
joerc configuration file (or anywhere else, yet) where you can
alter the Caps Lock/left Ctrl key assignments to accommodate an
easier usage of joe/jstar.
Has anyone else on the list encountered this need and found a
working solution for the Linux console? I found a solution through
a Google search for joe that works under X, but I'm not using X
on this machine.
Thank you for any help!
