Very Computer

Hello, we are migrating to SunOS 5.5.1 here from SunOS 4.1.3.  In
conjunction with that, we are also migrating to the CDE from
OpenWindows.  We have a few X applications where it is very convenient
to be able to use the keypad.  The keypad works fine in dtterms, but
in applications like FrameMaker, it doesn't do anything.  It does work
under OpenWindows.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the keypad working for all X
applications in CDE?

Thanks a bunch,

Eric,

We had a similar problem, but only noticed it on our Tektronix Xterminals.
The following entry in our local faq should help:

Q:  How do I get the numeric keypad to work on an Xterminal?
A:  Enter the following commands:
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_0 = 0"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_1 = 1"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_2 = 2"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_3 = 3"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_4 = 4"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_5 = 5"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_6 = 6"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_7 = 7"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_8 = 8"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_9 = 9"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Decimal = period greater"
         xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Enter = Return"

Regards,

James
(this only has to be done once at each Xterminal)
