Curioser and curioser. I was able to get rid of the underlining by turning
'use-fonts' off in the user setup, which seemed to do nothing visible
except change $system from 30866 to 30850, which seemed to do nothing at
all when I had done it 'by hand' before. I incidentally have a *MAJOR*
unhappiness with user-setup; almost anything you do, even if it should not
touch user.emf, seems to wipe out your user.emf file with all your
carefully crafted macros and bindings. I am sure I am using it wrong, but
the documentation, while seemingly complete, is not much help in avoiding
this problem. I learned years ago just to keep it backed up and restore
it, but I wonder what the point of setting it up this way is.

Anyway, one down.

The keypad thing is a puzzle. I cannot, I think, use translate-key,
because me thinks the keypad 7 is just a numeric 7, and if I translate
7 to `home' it will translate both the keypad 7 and the top line 7 to
home and I will have no `7' key *at all*. Or am I missing something??
I do not understand how me subverts the X keyboard translation so
thoroughly and neatly.

I am using stock Redhat 8 on a Pentium IV machine with an ASUS P4B533-M
motherboard, Intel 845 chipset; sorry I did not say before.

Any ideas?

thanks much, and thanks more for a really neat piece of code.
