have a look again isam , do you see where the 'thal' is located , it's 
located in the right of the <BKSL> , if we gonna take that as a standard we 
should cancel the key 'Backspace' and move it to the key 'enter' and cancel 
the 'enter' key and .....and.............etc
that's cuz the 'thal' key in it is to the right of the <BKSL> key and not 
in place of <BKSL> as the <BKSL> has its own key
so we shouldn't make the 'thal' key in the place of the <BKSL> we should 
make it in its own place (in this old keyboard, the key above the 
'backspace' key) and no conflict is there
if we did that swap you want to do and tried the keyboard layout with this 
old keyboard the 'thal' key will have assigned to '<' and the <BKSK> will 
do a 'thal'!!!
so even if we take thisi (OLD) keyboard as a standard we should leave the 
keyboard layout as is for it to work


look at the attached keyboard picture
this keyboard is used most nowadays (if even any other keyboard exists)
look at its arrangement
the <BKSL> key is below the enter key (that makes no difference tho cuz it 
has the same name)

OLD keyboard , new one
they all behave the same (may be slight different tho) as each key have its 
own name

and I'll repeat it , try to put the 'thal' in the <BKSL> key (as you want 
to do) and try it with the old keyboard here :
> http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/keyboards/arabic.html

it will not work just as it doesn't with new keyboards

the problem is that some people like to type <BKSL> to get 'thal' and 
that's no good
plz , read carefully and understand me
