Alan,

  I have been working without the dm for some time now since
  about 10.2.   So the things that i needed to get over was
  a mailer and an editor.  So, i picked up az for mail and vi,
  yup, vi as an editor.  It is much more tolerable with the translations
  that are on the bottom.  There is also a way to fudge the
  paste buffer into bringing up a dmread(hpvue client) pad(from the old
dm days)
  or more/vi the file.  It kind of feels like that old m3 trick..

  If you look into client translations, there is really a lot that
  you can do with this.  You mentioned using xmodmap, and while that
  is fine for somethings, you get locked down into having the key
  defined to a key.  When mapping in something like pfkeys xmodmap
  is fine, but it can't put in strings.  With using the translations
  you define the keys for only that client and you can togle them
  as i do with the "keymap" defined to the f1 key.  So there can be
  multiple key trans for one client.

  Do you have hpvue??  The mterm is much better than xterm.  Just
  the ability to scroll up in the window with the box arrow keys.

  Maybe i should post my dm2x cut and paste tools.

thanks,
