The KP_0/Insert lines are the trick to using the Keypad with a Sun type-4
keyboard --- without this trick, hitting the Insert/KP0 key will always do
an insert, regardless of shift being down.

The other translations allow the use of the PageUp/PageDown/Home/End keys.

Question:
Xterm has several obnoxious bugs(?) in the selection mechanism.  Firstly, it
maps long wrapped lines incorrectly, so that using cut/paste will include a
spurious newline where the wrap was.  Secondly, it maps tabs into spaces
erroneously.  Thirdly, is stupidly maps a literal control-E into the
characters "^" and "E".  All of these serious interfere with cut and paste.
Any solutions?  I want to paste what I *entered*, you see, not what the damn
think takes it in mind to *display*.  ("Much appreciated!" and all that :-)
