This is a DEC3100 running stock MIT X11R4 xcfbpmax and Ultrix v3.1.

Just finished installing motif 1.1 (also put in a new Xt with all the
patches) and things seem OK.... except the virtual keys and osf keysyms
have failed to catch on.

Whenever I start a motif application I get a bunch of junk such as

Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfDown
Warning: ... found while parsing ' Ctrl <Key>osfDown:           forward-paragrap
h()'

This also has the unfortunate side effect that *no* arrow keys or anything
can get through to my application...

Yes, I put bindings/dec into .motifbind in my home directory.  Before I
go diving into source code, anyone out there know what's going on?

Thanks in advance, Tim Bray (tbray@watsol.waterloo.edu)
