Well, here's an example: The keyboard layout is such that Shift-2 is supposed
to produce the double-quote(") instead of the "at" sign (@). When working in
native applications, this is what it does. However, on this web mail
interface, because I've selected US English, it produces the @ sigh as
expected. When logging in to NT, passwords and usernames are mapped to keyscan
codes, not displayed characters, so if your password contained "@", you would
hit the key labeled """. Got that?
(This iss assuming that everything re-maps correctly when I post this.
