I just noticed that page-up and page-down do not work with "most " when i´m
in xterm.
Strangely enough, the arrow keys (those that do not work with "ae") work
here.
Maybe i should just forget about xterm altogether and use a VC ?!

I did that ( run gpmconfig) and now i know how i came about to have entries
like
"device=help" in my /etc/gpm.conf:
During installation gpmconfig was started and i entered "help" when i did
not know what to enter.

Actually, i had just inserted the line
exit 0
at the beginning of /etc/init.d/gpm, but i will heed your advice for the
future.
Thank-you again
