Yes, that is the best that I got untill now. It works...

I just wonder if that "Policy Switch" can be done from within the 
script? In that way, Y could have more control about when I want wich 
keyboard policy. And also prevent user errors :)

That is exactly what I want, so maybe we did not understand each other 
and the above could help :)
