I am running OpenLook 2.0 and have come across a mystifying "incompatability"
between the the xnews server and my X11R4 server:

Under X11R4, I have the following entry in my .Xdefaults file to redefine the
F1-F5, F12 keys:
	.
	.
xterm*VT100.Translations:     #override <Key>F12: keymap(psdn)
xterm*VT100.psdnKeymap.translations:   <Key>F1: string("aaa") string(0x0d) \n\
   <Key>F2: string("bbb") string(0x0d) \n\
   <Key>F3: string("ccc") string(0x0d) \n\
   <Key>F4: string("ddd") string(0x0d) \n\
   <Key>F5: string("eee") string(0x0d) \n\
   <Key>F12: keymap(None) \n
	.
	.
Thus I can switch to my alternate key mappings for F1-F5 by hitting F12
(and go back to no translations by pressing F12 again).

Unfortunately, when I run xnews, this no longer works.  Does anyone know
what I need to do to get this to work once more?  Any help would be 
appreciated,

Tom
