Also, 'xev' shows that I am indeed receiving events for Meta key pressed and the following character. The code returned, however, is the same key as when the Meta key is not pressed. eg - Following the command: xmodmap -e "keycode 0x35 = a A 1" xprkbd shows as expected: 0x35 0x61 a 0x41 A 0x31 1 However, if I press Meta-A, (according to xev) XLookupString gives 1 character: "a" (state 0x08). Can anyone shed any light on this? Or is my interpretation of what xmodmap does incorrect? ==================================================================== PLATFORM: HP9000/300 HP-UX6.5 X11R4 (patchlevel 6) ==================================================================== -- Gary C.
