                   X Window System Bug Report

VERSION
	R3

CLIENT MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM

	Opus Systems Personal Mainframe 8000 running Opus5 3.1
	(Motorola 88000 running System V)

DISPLAY
	N/A

WINDOW MANAGER
	none

AREA
	Xlib

SYNOPSIS
	lib/X/XKeyBind.c
	XLookupString() handling of DEL.

DESCRIPTION
	Control-DEL gets converted to '0xlf'. In general, when a control key
	is depressed, all ASCII codes from '@' to DEL, inclusive, are
	AND'ed with 0x1f. DEL is itself a control character, and should
	not be treated so.
	For exapmle, the standard PC keyboard generates DEL with control-BS.
	X then converts the result to 0x1f.

REPEAT BY
	Try typing control-DEL at od.


SAMPLE FIX
	Change the test from "c <= '\\177'" to "c < '\\177'".
