Can someone send an example of what to include in one's .Xdefaults file
so that a given string is sent when a function key is pressed? Using
the example on p 28 of the xterm man page, we've tried the following.
It activates the function keys as expected, but all the other keys are
then disabled.
XTerm.VT100.translations: <Key>F4: string("ls") string(0x0d) \n\
<Key>F5: string("who") string(0x0d)

There's no page 28 in my xterm man page. Well, can't type anymore, huh? > XTerm.VT100.translations: <Key>F4: string("ls") string(0x0d) \n\ > <Key>F5: string("who") string(0x0d) If no directive is specified, "#replace" is assumed. Do you have a copy of the Xt specification? See the end of section 10.3, "Translation Table Management", and see Appendix B, "Translation Table Syntax".
