Two quick and related questions.  I have a sun (386i, but that's not
important) with a type 4 keyboard.  I am also running X11R3 as
distributed, with patches 1-9 applied.  I would like the "num lock"
key to have the "desired" effect, that is, when num lock is on, the
keypad goes into numbers mode.  Can I do this easily/at all in X and
xterm?

On a related issue, some of the left keys have legends like "front",
"open", etc.  In sunview, these have the action of performing the
appropriate window functions (like just press front to bring the
current window to the top).  Is there any way I can get these keys
through to the window manager and have it do the appropriate thing in
X?

Thanks for your answers and advice in advance.
