I am looking for some assistance in the use of X11R3 on a Sun386i,
SunOS 4.0.2, Type 4 keyboard.  The version that I have has the
following what info in the X executable:
.        sunCG2C.c 2.8 87/06/05 Copyright 1987 Sun Micro
.        sunCG3C.c       1.1 11/3/87 Copyright 1987 Sun Micro
.        sunCG4C.c       1.4 6/1/87 Copyright 1987 Sun Micro
.        pow.c 1.9 88/02/08 SMI
.        SVID_libm_err.c 1.7 88/02/08 SMI
.        _arg_red.c 1.6 88/02/08 SMI
.        _slow_arg_red.c 1.4 88/04/14 SMI
.        matherr.c 1.2 88/02/08 SMI
.        dbm.c 1.11 86/07/16 SMI

This is an executable only version - so I dont know what patches have
been applied.  Sure would be nice if there were some way to find out -
is there?

Anyways, What I am seeing is that some of the keys on the keyboard
do not generate anything at all - a number generate a Null character -
and a few generate escape sequences.  But even when I give xterm the
use Sun Function key flag, I dont get the same sequences as I get on my
type 4 under SunView.  Nor do I get what the xterm in my /etc/termcap
says I should get, etc.  

What I want to be able to do is to get a set series of values from my
function keys.  Can someone who has been successful in doing this drop
me some email to show me how to do this?  Thanks!
