Yes, thanks, that's it. However, the xkeycaps utility is blind where win95 specialty keys are concerned. I'd like to put them to use in FreeBSD. The xev utility gives me some of the information I'd need, I suppose. Is there any more illuminating documentation (beyond the man files) for xmodmap that would assist me in writing an appropriate xmodmap file? Or could anyone volunteer their tailored xmodmap file? Thank you. -- Larry S. Marso lsmarso@panix.com On Sun, Oct 12, 1997 at 07:35:36PM -0400, Brian Clapper wrote: > Larry S.
