I have been puzzled about a few things in xterm :
1) Why does the keypad divide key (KP_Divide) display "\". I have fixed
this by adding the following line to the *VT100.Translations :
<Key>KP_Divide: string("/") \n
2) Why is the bold attribute displayed with the default font : fixed.
I have gotten around this problem by adding the following line to my
.Xdefaults file :
XTerm.VT100.boldFont:
Why isn't the default overstrike ?

>1) Why does the keypad divide key (KP_Divide) display "\".
Because the "kypd_num" string in "input.c" in the "xterm" source has a
backslash where it should perhaps have a slash. Assuming there's no
good reason for this:

static XComposeStatus compose_status = {NULL, 0};
! static char *kypd_num = " XXXXXXXX\tXXX\rXXXxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX*+,-.\\0123456789XXX=";
static char *kypd_apl = " ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ??????abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzXXX";
static char *cur = "DACB";

(Speaking of good reasons or the lack of same, is there any good reason
why "kypd_num", "kypd_apl", and "cur" are pointers to "char", rather
than arrays of "char"?)
