Thanks!  I guess I missed that one.  One thing though for everyone in
general (devels in particular).  Once I followed these instructions
and got emacs working, I noticed that Motif apps were not working
right.  The symptom was that [Delete] did a backspace istead.  After a
Long Time tweaking various options to find out what was causeing the
problem (since it had been working a few days ago), I found 2 lines in
/etc/X11/Xresources that refered to *XmText.translations and
XmTextField.translations.  These were the cause.  I'm not sure why
these were put in here (by the developers), but the Keyboard-HOWTO and
Key-Setup-HOWTO and Netscape readme all strong suggest that they *not*
be used because they screw things up (as they did in my case).  I just
wanted to let people know of the cause if they experience the
problem...

Thanks for the help,
Erv
