The type 4 is an excellent keyboard (layout and feel) -- it's
a real shame everyone is going to the pc layout...

The default location for this header file under OpenWindows 3.0+
(i.e. Solaris 1.x and 2.x) is /usr/openwin/include/X11/keysymdef.h.
Check the setting of $OPENWINHOME to ensure that your prefix is
indeed /usr/openwin.

Ok, just drop the XK_ prefix from the keysym listings in the
above header file and you end up with something like:
Key L5 A N RaiseLower
Key L7 A N Iconify
which should work for you. Note the L? designations beneath
the Front and Open labels on your keys. The osf keysyms are
used for Motif clients (like netscape) so they won't help you
too much here. ;-)

A mass exodus from olwm to fvwm, eh?!
