In Danish, we have special characters as well. When I bought the Newt
and keyboard, a set of plastic keys were included for replacement of
the Swedish (!) characters mapped to my Newt when new. When they were
hit, they produced the Swedish version but were painted with the
Danish eqvivalent. Later, Jacob Bondo wrote a Danish package that
remapped to our usual keys. I then flipped the plastic keys off the
keyboard and rearranged them to the new, standard, Danish locations
that his mapping supported.

Does this make sense?
Clearly though, it does not answer the question about how to, since I
think it must refer to the software part, not the hardware removal -
refitting part ....
