Never mind what it looks like in the picture !! what matters in the real 
definition .. look at the :
http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/keyboards/arabic/arabwin.km
( it was the link above the keyboard picture in the page I have before)
in that file there is the REAL definition .. no one EVER do a definition 
according to a picture :-)
in that file there is :

'`'	0x0630

and that is indeed right and exactly what you are saying .. the ( ` ) - which 
in most cases is over theTAB in the left of the ( 1) .. there lies the 0x0630 
, and that is the THAL in case you don't have access to a Unicode table ..

Mohammed you reply too fast :-) you reply to reply ! come on that was a click 
away from the link I have you ! but you didn't bother ! you just wanted to 
reply :-) My friend .. believe me, They keymap would be OK, and the Keymap 
you use is the Microsoft Keymap .. its just the site gave a not that accurate 
picture ( to fit the ESC key) .. but it is all defined as I mentioned ..

Would you Like mohammed to cross check the AR keymap file of XFree86 with the 
Keymap definition above ? ( 
http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/keyboards/arabic/arabwin.km)

That would be really helpful and appreciated ..

Keep the High Spirit .. and low down your anger and hate for  M$  ;-)
