Revised keymap for laptops... potentially for universal use

Hi all,

	I replied to Janina privately right after her message (below), that  in fact, the "cvs" keymap in the goodies directory is not my keymap! I regret  the confusion, which I believe arose from the similarity in names between my file and the "cvs" one. (Sorry 'bout that!)

	Moments ago, I removed my old file and put a new, revised keymap called "unispeak.tar.bz2" in the goodies directory along with a "README.unispeak" file describing it's use.

	ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org/pub/linux/goodies/*unispeak* will get you both files.

	This keymap requires the newer versions of speakup (since December 20/02), when speakup had a significant change in it's key binding. It will NOT work properly with older versions of speakup, nor will the older versions of keymaps work propperly with the new cvs versions of speakup. When you get the newer cvs speakup you get an updated keymap. My unispeak.map incorporates the new speakup keymap along with these extensions to facilitate it's use on a laptop/notebook.

	Unispeak.map is the "Universal Speakup Keymap", which can be used on a 104-key keyboard, or on a laptop keyboard providing full and easy control of all of speakup's functions.

	Your comments/suggestions/praise/criticism are welcomE!
