No -- this machine is an old ThinkPad, that has two 'Alt's, two 'Ctrl's
and nothing else!

The previous Haiku version I was using also defaults to US-International,
but 'Opt' still mapped to 'right-Ctrl', so I don't quite know where the
change crept in.  However, I finally realized that one can drag and drop
in the keymap [amazing what one can learn after n-years of blissful
ingmorance! (:-)], so it was actually easy to make the switch to my
old convention.

I do like the new Keymap Preflet.  The only slight problem is that it
tends to lose most of the extra letters in a key name when I switch to
"IBM Laptop" -- "Option" becomes "O"...

Thanks,
