1. COPY the file "/usr/lib/X11/system.mwmrc" to "$HOME/.mwmrc".

2. Edit the file "$HOME/.mwmrc".

3. In the "DefaultKeyBindings" (*NOT* in "SampleKeyBindings"), delete
   the line:

	Shift<Key>Escape            icon|window             f.post_wmenu

   (In my .mwmrc file, I deleted *all* lines, BUT the one with the
   "f.set_behavior" function.  You may not want to do this, however.)

4. Save the file.

5. Restart mwm.

     If you already have a "$HOME/.mwmrc" file, merge
"/usr/lib/X11/system.mwmrc" into it.

     See the man page for mwm(1) for more details.
