- I recently installed Motif 1.1. I enabled the "Comma Key Sends ,<" button in
- the "DECterm Keyboard Options" menu, but it didn't seem to work. I couldn't
- find any reference to this problem in the release notes, so I called the help
- line, who informed me that this button no longer worked, and if I really wanted
- this functionality, I would have to execute the following commands:
-
- $ @DECW$UTILS:DECW$DEFINE_UTILS
- $ xmodmap -e "keysym comma = comma less"
- $ xmodmap -e "keysym period = period greater"
-
- I plugged these lines into my SYS$LOGIN:DECW$LOGIN.COM, and things seem to work
- fine now.
-
- Sorry if this is a FAQ. Just thought you'd like to know...
