>1) Why does the keypad divide key (KP_Divide) display "\".

Because the "kypd_num" string in "input.c" in the "xterm" source has a
backslash where it should perhaps have a slash.  Assuming there's no
good reason for this:

*** input.c.dist	Sun Dec 10 17:44:50 1989
--- input.c	Fri Nov  2 11:33:07 1990
***************
*** 46,52 ****
  #include "ptyx.h"
  
  static XComposeStatus compose_status = {NULL, 0};
! static char *kypd_num = " XXXXXXXX\tXXX\rXXXxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX*+,-.\\0123456789XXX=";
  static char *kypd_apl = " ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ??????abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzXXX";
  static char *cur = "DACB";

  #include "ptyx.h"
  
  static XComposeStatus compose_status = {NULL, 0};
! static char *kypd_num = " XXXXXXXX\tXXX\rXXXxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX*+,-./0123456789XXX=";
  static char *kypd_apl = " ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ??????abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzXXX";
  static char *cur = "DACB";
  
(Speaking of good reasons or the lack of same, is there any good reason
why "kypd_num", "kypd_apl", and "cur" are pointers to "char", rather
than arrays of "char"?)
