Subject: add manual index for KEYBOARD, etc.

Lisp Version: 

Description: the manual description of modifying key actions doesn''t talk about MODIFY.KEYACTION or KEYACTION, and doesn''t say how to change the function of the Dandelion keyboard in any easy-to-find out way. The discussion that is there doesn''t mention what the names of the keys are.'
'
[mjs 4/2/84':  what is this talking about.  What "manual description of modifying key actions"?  MODIFY.KEYACTION or KEYACTION are documented in the manual in a perfectly reasonable place.]'

Bill Van Melle, maybe.  I don''t run the keyboard code, so I can''t very well document it.'

'
MODIFY.KEYACTION isn''t indexed. Maybe that''s the problem? Also, the index contains no references for KEYBOARD, etc. or at least, the IM inspector doesn''t know about them.'
'
I don''t know who this belongs to, as I think the appropriate action is to index MODIFY.KEYACTION and regenerate the IM inspectors.'
'
I guess this is Attn': Sannella, no? I don''t want it any more.'
