I posted a request for information about the Xterm Control Sequence manual that is mentioned in the xterm man page, but is not available with the X11R3 distribution. I received several responses, all but one of which contained the claimed that this is a "mythical" document. Fortunately, one person proved that it actually exists by sending me a copy (in troff format). I do not have it handy here on my news machine, but I'll post it if people are interested (it's about 12K). I have a related question that perhaps people could comment on. Namely, the xterm man page describes how one can dynamically change the keyboard mapping by means of a dedicated function key, but it does not make it clear if it is possible to alter the keyboard mapping my sending an escape sequence from a program, or if a keyboard mapping can be specified in the X startup file via *VT100.Translations: mapping. What I would like to do is make entries in my database (resource) file that specify xterm's with different keyboard mappings. Something like: xterm-foo*geometry: whatever xterm-foo*translations: whatever What would/can one specify in place of whatever here? Can one use escape sequences to select keyboard mappings? Thanks for any clues. Dominick Samperi Citicorp uunet!ccorp!samperi -- Dominick Samperi -- ESCC samperi@marob.masa.com uunet!hombre!samperi

But, please be sure that it is really for X11R3 and not just the document from the X10R4 release. If it is for X11R3 then some nice soul has taken the time to update the version from X10R4, because there really was no document available for X11R3 before now. _____________________________________ Brian V.
