    Anyone know how I can remap the "Front" key on a Sun kbd from within an
    XView program?  I've tried 'defaults_set_string' on 'OpenWindows.FrontKey'
    but I'm doing something wrong or the olwm isn't updating its mapping.
    Any suggestions?

The 'Front' key is handled by the window manager on a global basis.  You
can't remap it from within program, XView or not.  The way to remap it is
by changing the OpenWindows.FrontKey resource in the .Xdefaults file and
then restarting the window manager.  The syntax for key specifications is
documented in the olwm man page.
