Notice the use of Shift versus ~Shift (*without* Shift) below to
disambiguate the use of KP_0 versus Insert, which are both on
the same key on the Sun SPARC keyboard.

! xterm characteristics - C. A. North-Keys, 1991
!
XTerm*name:     xterm
XTerm*reverseVideo:     true
XTerm*reverseWrap:  true
XTerm*StringConversionWarnings:on
XTerm*title:        Xterm
XTerm*mouse:        red
XTerm*cursorColor:  green
XTerm*border:       black
XTerm*scrollKey:    true
XTerm*scrollBar:    false
XTerm*c132:             true
XTerm*fontMenu*font1*Label:     Illegible
XTerm*fontMenu*font2*Label:     Small
XTerm*fontMenu*font3*Label:     Smooth
XTerm*fontMenu*font4*Label:     Huge
XTerm*VT100*font1:              nil2
XTerm*VT100*font2:              6x10
XTerm*VT100*font3:              *smooth*
XTerm*VT100*font4:              *sony*24*
XTerm*VT100.Translations:   #override \n\
  ~Shift        <KeyPress> F23:     set-scrollbar(toggle) \n\
  ~Shift        <KeyPress> F27:     scroll-back(100,page) \n\
  ~Shift        <KeyPress> R13:     scroll-forw(100,page) \n\
  ~Shift  Meta  <KeyPress> F29:     scroll-back(1,page) \n\
  ~Shift  Meta  <KeyPress> F35:     scroll-forw(1,page) \n\
  ~Shift        <KeyPress> F29:     scroll-back(1,line) \n\
  ~Shift        <KeyPress> F35:     scroll-forw(1,line) \n\
  ~Shift        <KeyPress> Insert:  insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n
   Shift        <KeyPress> KP_0:    string("0") \n\

The SPARC keycaps are:
	F23:Scroll/Lock
	F27:Home         (also 7)
	R13:End          (also 1)
	F29:PgUp         (also 9)
	F35:PgDn         (also 3)

The result of all this is that with Shift on, the right keypad inserts digits
into the xterm, and with Shift off, the keypad controls scrolling.  We like it.
