+about shift and meta characters. to place chars in the shift map, the line
+should consist of two columns. the non-shifted char and the shifted char. for
+example. 
+
+0x36   0x46
+
+so, 0x36 shifted is 0x46. and for meta chars. the reason why you have this 
+feature is because of languages like german, where you can hold down the 
+meta-alt key and enter in other special characters. it's like having
+a second shift. to add chars to this map, you do the following.
+
+m 0x36  0x84
+
+and here, if you hold down the meta-alt and hit the 0x36 key, 0x84 would be
+input. get it?
