Hmm... the ones I mentioned are the only ones that show up in the help.

Ok, I'll look at this and make sure it works for both platforms.

Actually, I'm not overriding it.  Right now I'm working on the problem of
redrawing the screen.  Here's what happens:

1. You press a key.  Xlib gets the keypress event and reports the event
back to x5250.

2. x5250 finds out what key was pressed from Xlib.  x5250 returns the
result to lib5250.  At this point x5250 knows what key was pressed and
remembers it.
