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.
