The answers provided have been added to the XUG list of Frequently
Asked Questions for the benefit of future generations (in addition,
the current XNextEvent has an article by Skip Montanaro of GE CR&D on
R3 Xterm control sequences, which people may find useful).

>Many times over the last year the question was posed about splitting up
>this newsgroup to allow for a "basic X question" sort of group and a X
>programmer's group.  For whatever reason(s), that split did not occur.

The XUG list is intended to be distributed at approximately the beginning of 
each month, or more often as needed, and has as one of its goals the reduction
of volume in comp.windows.x.

The first posting was distributed at the end of January and may still be on
many systems (the next will have a later expiration date and should go
out about 2/26).

If you have comments or suggested Q&A, please send them directly to 
xug@expo.lcs.mit.edu.
