Well, I've got Gnu 18.45 running under Xwindows on our IBM RT workstations
(running BSD 4.2),
but I still have a minor problem: All the "abnormal" keys
on the RT keyboard are being "ignored" by emacs except for the arrow
keys.  Abnormal keys are the functions, the specials (home, end, 
insert, pageup, pagedown), and the numeric keypad.  The arrow keys
are pre-assigned emacs commands (uparrow generates ctrl-P).

Doing a help C command and pressing these keys shows nothing (that is,
it's as if I hadn't pressed a key), which makes it hard to bind them
to emacs functions.  I've even tried setting different terminal types
(ibmapa16 and vt100) to see if that would help.  It didn't.
If I invoke emacs with the -nw switch, it runs as
it should in the window I give the command in, and sees all the function keys.
I assume then that the problem is in the X code in gnu, but haven't
made any progress from there.
