We're using HP 9000/360 with preconfigured hp-ux 7.0 with all the fancy
Motif window stuff.  One draw back with this config. and HP workstations in
general is that there is no visual indication of current CAPS-LOCK key.  On
our Dec's and Mac's there is a LED on the keyboard.  If I remember correctly,
on HP terminals there was an indicator between the sets of function keys on
the bottom of the display.

So I'm asking: Is there a function of the XSession or the HPterm which will
visually indicate CAPS-LOCK is active?  How 'bout some other way?--
