modify OS X keyboard mappings

Hello,

I need to have access to the french characters. I can do this with the
Canadian - CSA keyboard. However, that keyboard has a "," as a decimal.
I need a ".". Changing it in the international control panel does not
change the numeric keypad. This is stupid and the only occasion for me
where the other OS makes more sense. So...

I would like to modify the keyboard mapping. Does anyone know how to do
this (or could point me to a web site that explains how to do this)

thanks.

Michel

It's not quite what you're asking, but you can access all French
characters on a regular US keyboard. Various option combinations get you
accets (for example, option-e followed by a vowel gets you a grave
accent over that vowel), and option-c gets you the c cedilla. I'm sure
somebody has a list somewhere, or you can just open Key Caps and hold
down option and have a look. It's not quite as convenient as having them
directly accessable, but I type French from time to time that way and it
doesn't bug me much.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
