CTRSCI.UTAH.EDU has patches available for 18.52 unde VMS DecWindows.
Probably they work just fine in 18.55. It also fixes the compose key
to be the Meta key.  They are available for anonymous ftp in tar format.
There is also a VMS tar available if you need it. I'm quite curious if
these changes will make it into the standard distribution, if anyone 
can comment on that.

A change kit for 18.55 (including full LK201 keyboard support) can be
retrieved from the Multihouse Mail Server by sending a message to
<mail-server@mh.nl>, with contents

	btoa
	path <your_valid_return_path>
	send vms-xemacs
	end

(Leave out the "btoa" line if you prefer uuencoding instead.)
If someone wants to put this on some FTP machines, I + my boss will be
grateful.
