First of all, I'm very encouraged that someone else is succeeding
where I am not. Besides that, I'm sure that I'm not using the same
font. I have not been able to figure out what font I'm using on the
Digital Unix workstation. The window options pull down menu shows:

-*-Terminal-*-*-*--*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*

I don't know much about fonts, but I understand that that is a very
generic font definition, and I assume I need a more specific one for
use on the Linux machine. How do I figure out which font to use ? What
font do you use ?


Also, I have a problem with the keyboard definition. Actually, I don't
think this is a problem for the  application I referred to above, but
it certainly is for thinks like edt, tpu, etc. I know that you can
define keys using modkeys, or something like that. Does anyone have
something like that that I can get - instead of re-inventing the wheel ?


TIA.
