- # i have the following in my .Xresource (that i load with xrdb):
- #
- # *vt100.translations:#override Meta<KeyPress>: string(0x1b) insert()
- #
- # however, while this works on the dec, it doesn't work on the hp
- # unless i place a leading "xterm" on the line. on the hp,
- # /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm has:
- #
- # XTerm*VT100.Translations:#override Meta<KeyPress>: insert-seven-bit()
- #
- # what do i need to do to get the translations listed initially to work on
- # the hp? i appreciate your taking a moment to answer.

- report the bug to hp. Their Xrm routines are broken. There is basically
- no difference between the two resource lines except that the latter refers
- to the class resource and not the instance. However, the top one should
- work on the hp.
