anykey and olvwm

Has anyone found a way to map the Gateway "anykey" keyboard such that
the set of function keys on the left side perform the same functions
as on a sun (front, back, copy, paste, etc) while leaving the function
keys along the top available?

I am guessing something along the lines of mapping the left side keys
to an escape sequence, but I am unsure if X looks at that level or lower.

Finally, where would I want to look to enable this?
ol[v]wm source would probably be a good start. Anywhere else?

I've got my anykey set up to switch between VCs.  All I did was hit
CTRL-PROGRM_MACRO and then key the appropriate sequence.  When
finished hit PROGRM_MACRO again and its then stored.

I know this isn't *quite* what you want to do, but provided that there
are equiv. keysequences for each of the operations that you wish to
perform (I don't use olvwm, so I don't know) it shouldn't be a
problem.  As far as I'm able to tell the keyboard itself justs sends
the expanded macro, the machine never knows that the keys themselves
weren't pressed.

Hope this helps - e-mail for more.

1. Where are olvwm/olvwm menu definition files supposed to be?

I've finally got the command "openwin" to at least do SOMETHING b;esides
exit back to shell.  Now i just get a nice blue screen, nice looking mouse
cursor... Nothing else.  If i click and drag with the left button, i drag
open a frame (when i let go, it disappears and leaves nothing).  If i click
onthe rifht button, a tall box openes up.  Acutaly this frame runs vertically
from top to bottom of screen (no top border, but it has has nice side borders
as if a window manager definetely made it to put stuff in).  Its a grey background...
However, there are NO options in it.  Nothing to select.  Anyone have any
ideas?  I can't seem to do anything because this menu has no popntions iniit.
Which file/where should this file be that contains the info to bput in this
menu?

please e-mail to
