I am using MacX from within the Mac OS rather than AUX. One
thing I do all the time is bring up an emacs window from a
remote machine. I would like to have emacs recognize keypad
events as escape sequences rather than as numbers. Has
anyone figured out how to do this, e.g. using xmodmap?

If you add "8" to these values, they precisely match the MacX keycodes (for keycodes <= 127 + 8). You can use the output of "xmodmap -pk" to see what keycodes have what keysyms on them by default. Note that the Command key works to add more keycodes to the numeric keypad and arrow keys as well. This stuff wasn't particularly well documented (at all?) in MacX 1.0's documentation. I hope to rectify this in a future release. If you have the DEC product DEC LanWORKS for Macintosh, you'll have a chart for the keys and their corresponding keysyms. If you're REALLY stuck, I have a document when I can send to you which details the keyboard layout (it's in Microsoft Word 4.0 format). |> Gilbert Harman (ghh@clarity.princeton.edu) |> Princeton University Cognitive Science Laboratory |> 221 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 |> (609) 258-2824 -- Alan Mimms (alan@apple.com, ...!apple!alan) | My opinions are generally A/UX X group | pretty worthless, but Apple Computer | they *are* my own...
