Newbie Question on keymaps

["Frank E. Friedman" <fritz@asacomp.com>]

To Whom IT May Concern,

Problem:
OK, I'm having trouble with the keymaps.  The trouble is that I cannot get
them to map.

Background:
I'm using the COW client on a Win98 machine.  The files in the zip file
(called COW_3_00pl1b2_win32.zip) were unzipped into a directory off the root
called cow (ie c:\cow).  I copied the xtrekrc.sample file to xtrekrc and
made the modifications to the xtrekrc file as stated in the cow.doc and
xtrekrc.sample files.  For example:

keymap:    q1wzeDr4

I even renamed the xtrekrc file to .xtrekrc (though I believe this only
applies to UNIX users).  Am I doing anything wrong, or is this feature not
supported in the Win32 release?  An information would be helpful (and
appreciated).


thanks in advance,

Frank

PS: Actually, I was a realitively good player of netrek (with a 2-1 kill
ratio in my favor) in the years 1991 and 1992.  Unfortunately, I graduated!
(No wait a minute, graduating is a good thing!... or was it?). Anyways, I'm
a born again Newbie... I guess.
