[comp.windows.open-look] Meta key on OW2.0

ramani@CS.Stanford.EDU (Ramani Pichumani) (11/08/90)

Can anyone tell me how to get OpenWindows 2.0 on a Sparc IPC running OS4.1 to 
recognize the Meta key?  I tried the following, which works on the MIT server
but not under OW 2.0:

	xmodmap -e "keysym Multi_key = Multi_key Meta_L"

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Try:
	xmodmap -e 'add mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R'

You should probably also check out $OPENWINHOME/lib/openwin-sys ...
