 You have to change key keymaps with the `loadkeys' for the console or
 with `xmodmap' for X.  I've created a console keymap for use with
 XEmacs that you might like to try.  Look in:

	   <URL:http://master.debian.org/~karlheg/XE-Lisp>

 ... for xhypermap.m4 and ext-fkeymap.el.

 If you don't like how I've got the change vt keys mapped, then you
 can modify the .m4 file to suit yourself.  I based it on the
 hypermap.m4 that's part of `console-tools'.
