    Oh well, I tried.  I really did try.
    
    The qar got closed with "Not Reproduceable - no examples were provided"
    
    I give up :-(
    
    For example,
    
    nnplus 15%  xmodmap -
     keycode 0x3F =  F8 F18
     add Shift   = F18
     <CTRL>D 
    
    was not tried at all.

    Well, the answer given is that the developer was able to assign
    "1" and "0" to Fn and SHIFT-Fn.
    
    **** And sure enough, that DOES work ****
    
    BUT I REALLY WANT TO ASSIGN a real key which generates a specified
    escape sequence and I can NOT assgign any function key to SHIFT-Fn
    
    Please, can somebody give me a snippet from the xmodmap sequence to 
    assign under dtterm
    
    ==================================================================
    PC-XAL Key		Should Generate		Actual escape sequence
    ==================================================================
    F8	   		LK201_F18 key		ESC [ 3 2 ~
    SHIFT-F8		LK201_F8 key            ESC [ 3 2 ~
    KP+			LK201_KP, key		,
    SHIFT-KP+		LK201_KP- key           -

    # xmodmap -
    keycode 0x7c = 1 0
    <CTRL/D>
    
    # Now pound on KP+ key and it DOES generate 1
    #           SHIFT-KP+     generates 0
    
    
    Unfortunately,
    
    # xmodmap -
    keycode 0x7c = KP_Separator  KP_Subtract
    <CTRL/D>
    
    Will only generate "'" regardless of the SHIFT.

574.8I'd reopen it, that's kind of lame, IMHOXAPPL::MASINICKBrian Masinick, DTN 381-0013Fri Mar 21 1997 17:455
    If they want an example, give 'em an example and reopen the QAR.  This
    is a case of someone trying to get out of work because the desktop is
    being de-emphasized.  Give 'em what you gave us  --- cut and paste what
    you put here, and be a pest if you have to.  Sometimes the squeaky
    wheel gets heard.

    I don't believe this is a case of someone trying to get out of work. It
    is very likely that the person working on the QAR has never seen this
    thread of discussion in the notesfile. They tried a couple of things
    and they worked. Obviously there are still some problems and the 
    QAR should be reopened with more information.
