If there is a DECWindows wizard out there, I need help with the translation
tables for a SText widget.  I am at a loss.  Here is the translation table:

  defaultEditorTranslations = "#augment\n\
 ^<Key>F:forward_character ()\n\
 ^<Key>B:backward_character ()\n\
Ctrl<Key>D:delete_next_character ()\n\
Ctrl<Key>A:beginning_of_line ()\n\
Ctrl<Key>E:end_of_line ()\n\
Ctrl<Key>P:previous_line ()\n\
Ctrl<Key>N:next_line ()\n\
Ctrl<Key>K:kill_to_end_of_line ()";


Here is the error message I get:
X Toolkit Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown modifier name:  Ctrl
X Toolkit Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown modifier name:  Ctrl
X Toolkit Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown modifier name:  Ctrl
X Toolkit Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown modifier name:  Ctrl
X Toolkit Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown modifier name:  Ctrl
X Toolkit Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown modifier name:  Ctrl
X Toolkit Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown modifier name:  Ctrl
X Toolkit Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown modifier name:  Ctrl

I do appreciate that the XtParseTranslationtable () expands the "^" to the
unknown modifier name "Ctrl" for me though.

MegaThanks,
