[ale] question about keymapping in xterm HELP!! :) - long email sorry guys!!

Wed Jul 21 11:28:23 EDT 2004

I'm attempting to get a program called Milemaker (made by
rand mcnally) to run properly when remotely executed
on one of our NC900 X terminals.

this program is executed remotely from another server by
using this command which is set up as a menu entry in
the motif window manager we use on our terminals.

here is the command

rsh mercury /usr/bin/X11/xterm -cr red -bg MidnightBlue -fg
snow -display $DISPLAY -title MileMaker -n MilerMaker -e
/usr/micro/g18/exe/startup.sh

the startup.sh file sets the terminal environment to xterm
and then starts the milemaker program

Here is my problem, I'm trying to get the number pad to work
properly. we use a .xmodmap file that maps the key codes to
the correct keys on our terminals. 

when the command xmodmap -pke is executed I get these
results

when I press the numbers on the numerical keypad in a xterm
session  they all display correctly, but don't work when
running the milemaker program

I'm hoping that someone else here has had similar problems
in the past, I sure could use some help.

Thanks in Advance,

Van

P.S. I have called the tech support guys at rand mcnally,
they are supposed to call me back. If they are able to help
out I'll post their instructions to the list in case anyone
needs them too.
