	Here's a simple question that hopefully has a simple answer.
I've been adding translations to the XmText widget to make it easier
for emacs users, and it works fine except when I try to change an already
set translations.  Here's what I have in my applications defaults
file:

*Text.translations:     #override \n\
                        Ctrl<Key>f: forward-character() \n\
                        Ctrl<Key>b: backward-character() \n\
                        Ctrl<Key>p: previous-line() \n\
                        Ctrl<Key>n: next-line() \n\
                        Ctrl<Key>e: end-of-line() \n\
                        Ctrl<Key>a: beginning-of-line() \n\
                        Ctrl<Key>k: kill-to-end-of-line() \n\
                        Ctrl<Key>y: unkill() \n\
                        <Key>Delete: delete-previous-character() \n\
                        Meta<Key><: beginning-of-file() \n\
                        Meta<Key>>: end-of-file()
	
	The one that doesn't work is the delete key binding.  I've
tried several other keys and action functions, but the results are
still the same; it won't override the default translations.


	One a side note, I've been hearing that that a motif
newsletter or mailing list is out there somewhere.  How does one get
on this list?

Thanks for any help.
