Yes, this surprised me too. This test is true if $___SHRC is undefined,
which is why kre said,

No, that becomes `if ":" ...' $___SHRC is undefined or empty. You need to
write it that way, else it's a syntax error.

Just the same if quoting is needed.

Heh. I had to do the same on one of my old laptops; except a lot more keys
were non-functional, so:

```
$ cat /mnt/bak/sdf/tmp/nbsd/qey.sh 
#!/bin/sh

wsconsctl -dw font='Boldface 16x32'
wsconsctl -w encoding=us.swapctrlcaps
while read line
do      wsconsctl -w map+="$line"
done <<\EoF
keycode 1 = grave asciitilde
keycode 14 = BackSpace
keycode 211 = KP_Delete
keycode 41 = Escape
keycode 24 = o O i I
keycode 31 = s S a A
keycode 33 = f F d D
keycode 35 = h H g G
keycode 38 = l L k K
keycode 49 = n N m M
keycode 52 = period greater slash question
keycode 219 = Mode_switch
EoF
$
```

You produce the broken keys using Win+adjacent-to-broken key.

(Why is the script called `qey.sh' instead of `key.sh'? Because the `k' key is
broken :))
