I'm not entirely sure it works, myself.  I gave up on the AT&T server and
rewrote mine virtually from scratch.  The keyboard support is one of the
sections that was *not* carried over.

Because, in my mind, the Ctrl and Alt keys map nicely to Control and
Option, and others have also made that mapping.  On a 101-key kbd, the only
way to emulate Command under this circumstance is by combining keys, so I
used an accessible and rarely-used combination.

Probably a viewer glitch rather than the server.  As I said, not all
viewers handle the keyboard in the most flexible way possible - the UNIX
viewer is probably the best available.
