Hello,

we have got a Mac IIcx running the eXodus server. Because we have
german keyboards and eXodus has no support for international keyboards
some characters are on the false position. For example 'z' and 'y'
are exchanged. Now I'm looking for a X solution of this problem.

I read about the translation tables in X and tried some commands in the
.Xdefaults-file which didn't work, for example:

     Any<Key>y: 'z'

Is it possible to use this translation tables to change the characters
you type in all applications. And if so, how?

BTW, we are running DECwindows on a DECstation 3100.

Thanks

   Michael
