This looks great!

How do I create a keyboard layout?

Does the sprinter have the same ascii table as ms-dos?

You can edit a file with keyboard layout. For example, compare 'keyboard.kbd' and 'test.lay' files from the package. 'Test.lay' file has changed Normal key combinations (primary).
Yes, Sprinter use ASCII table, but (default) some Extended ASCII codes (128-255) are used for Russian characters.
