I am trying to adopt X.11 to run on an RT with
4.3 and a Swedish keyboard. Actually I do not have
any problem with our national charaters
( they are printed on the top of keys ), which I just
map with XChangeKeyboardMapping. My problem is some
of the US ASCII characters, which are printed on
the front of some keys ( eg left square bracket is
on front of the key with digit 8 )

We like to use the 'alt' key as a modifier to get these
'keysyms' engraved on the fronts.

I understand that I will have to redefine the array
of KeySymS, from the default two columns to (at least) three
columns, when I have to bind the modifier mapping
eg XsetModifierMapping ( keycode of 'alt' to Mod1 )

Now to my question HOW, do I set Mod1 to point to column
three in the array of KeySyms ????

(First column is unshifted, second column is Shift/Lock,
but following columns are undefined by Xlib ||||????)

Any Hints would be much apriciated.
