    For example, the command
    
        xterm -xrm 'XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override <Key> F1: string("hello")'
    
    pops a window in which pressing F1 causes the string "hello" (without the
    quotes) to appear in the input stream.  If this is for something that you use
    often, you should put the declaration into your resource database.

In my resource database, I have

   XTerm*Translations:    #override <Key>F28: string("clear") string(0x0d)\n\
                                 <Key>Clear: string(0x15)

(That makes the clear-screen key on my lispm send "clear\n" and the
clear-input key send ^U.)

Whenever I start up an xterm, I get the message "X Toolkit Warning:
Actions not found:  string" although everything actually works.  I see
the message when I start xterm on a Sun 4/280 or a MIPS M2000 running
X11R3, but not when I start one on a Stellar running something X11R2ish.

What's the problem?
