Hello,

The person who installed our current version of Epoch is not around
anymore, so I turn to you for help. Any pointers will be much
appreciated. Here is the problem:

We are using Epoch 4.2 in OpenWindows 3 on Sun workstations. Back when
we were using OW2, all functions keys F1-F12 (among many others) were
bound to often-used commands. For instance, F11 was bound to C-x C-f
(find file) and F12 to C-x C-s (save buffer).

Now, in OW3, the F11 and F12 keys don't do anything at all. I looked
on the $OPEWINHOME/lib/XKeysymDB file, and saw that the new names for
F11 and F12 are SunXK_F36 and SunXK_F37, respectively (they were
SunF36 and SunF37 in OW2). So, I changed the names on the elisp file
where we have our local bindings, byte-compiled it, and re-compiled
Epoch.

Now, when I open Epoch, I see the message "Invalid X-key name" in the
minibuffer, and the F11 and F12 still don't work.

What else should I check? Also, I don't know if this is useful, but the
person who installed Epoch inserted the following lines in
$OPENWINHOME/lib/openwin-sys:

xmodmap -e 'add mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R' \
        -e 'add mod2 = F13 F16 F18 F19 F20' \
        -e 'add mod3 = Mode_switch Alt_L' \
        -e 'add mod4 = Num_Lock'  \
        -e 'add mod5 = Multi_key' \
        -e 'keycode 57 = KP_Decimal'


Thank you very much in advance.
