Mwm on HP9000s3xx/HPUX 7.0 wants to reserve DELETE to popup window menus.
GNU Emacs wants to use DELETE for deleting the character left of the
cursor and BACKSPACE (control-H) for online help.
Is there a way to make mwm not use DELETE for the window menu; e.g., an
"xmodmap" incantation, or a .Xdefaults entry?

COPY the file "/usr/lib/X11/system.mwmrc" to "$HOME/.mwmrc". 2. Edit the file "$HOME/.mwmrc". 3. In the "DefaultKeyBindings" (*NOT* in "SampleKeyBindings"), delete the line: Shift<Key>Escape icon|window f.post_wmenu (In my .mwmrc file, I deleted *all* lines, BUT the one with the "f.set_behavior" function. You may not want to do this, however.) 4. Save the file. 5. Restart mwm. If you already have a "$HOME/.mwmrc" file, merge "/usr/lib/X11/system.mwmrc" into it. See the man page for mwm(1) for more details. -- Darryl Okahata UUCP: {hplabs!, hpcea!, hpfcla!} hpnmd!darrylo Internet: darrylo%hpnmd@hp-sde.sde.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

There is a key_binding there for Shift<Key>Escape: post.wmenu (from memory) If you change this (or delete) then your problem will go away. I changed mine to Meta<Key>Escape: post.wmenu Hope this helps , Joe ============================================================= Please remember that these opinions are mine, and mine alone.

You can easily define the settings of the DELETE key in you .mwmrc file. Look for a line which starts with: Shift<Key>Escape This is the line which defines the behaviour of mwm when pressing the DELETE key. If you remove it, I guess your problems have disappeared.
