I would like to set up a global set of function key definitions to generate
escape sequences.  I want to do this in such a way that it would work regardless
of the window manager in use.  This way, if I am running under DecWindows
or even something else by some OTHER vendor, or uwm, etc. I can always 
guarantee that my fkeys are working properly for MY applications.

I have read the xmodmap man page and it doesnt seem to be quite what I want.

I have vol 3 of the O'Reily X Window series and it doesnt give me any clues.
Not only that, but I typed in their xshowkey programs and was unable to get
either one to work on either a DEC 3100 and DecWindows or a Sun386i running
X11 .  Anyone have any tips on this?
