	Here is the original problem:

----- Begin Included Message -----
	xview 2.0 and twm:

	When using xview applications with twm, certain key bindings
stop working.  For example I have:
"L3" = : all : f.warpto "root%sasun1 "

	My "L3" binding stopped working when typed in non Open Windows
applications when I started using Open Windows 2.0 programs.
----- End Included Message -----

	There was a complement of information from Henning Pangels:
=========
 It turns out
 that running an xview-dependent application (such as cm, xrolo or
 framemaker) assigns 5 function keys under modifier 2, as  reported by xmodmap:

 mod2        F13 (0x20),  F16 (0x3a),  F18 (0x50),  F19 (0x66),  F20 (0x68)
 Running xmodmap -e 'clear mod2' after the antisocial application
 returns things back to normal.
=======
	And from Bob Scheifler:

	That bug has been reported and in the meanwhile I have added the
following binding to my .twmrc:

"L1" = m : all : !"xmodmap -e 'clear mod2'"
