We have several DECstation 5000/xxx running ULTRIX 4.3 and PC's running
SCO UNIX.

We have a Motif-based application compiled for both systems. Some of
the dialogs in this application contains XmTextField widgets. When
this application is started using a local display (on either DEC or
SCO), the <x] key (backarrow key) works as
delete-previous-character, when you try to delete text in a
XmTextField.

If we try start the application on a SCO-system using a dislay on a
DECstation the backarrow key works as delete-next-character instead of
delete-previous-character as expected.

If we try the other way around (from DEC to SCO - starting the client
on a DECstation with the remote display on a SCO-machine) there's no
problem (backarrow key works as delete-previous-character).

The resourcefiles, read by the application, are identical on both
systems (no translations set differently).

On the DEC-keyboard, the backarrow key normally sends DEL (if not
othervise reconfigured by the application). On the ansi-keyboard, used
on SCO, the backarrow key sends Backspace.

I want the backarrow to work as delete-previous-character in all
cases. How do I remap the <x] key to work as delete-previous-character
when the client runs on SCO using a display on a DEC-machine without
affecting another incarnation of the same application (running on the same 
SCO-machine using a local display) or other applications (xmodmap cannot 
be used) ?

Thanks in advance.
