Hi John.

To answer your question, I used xev to grab the information on the 
dreaded "menu" key.  It reported (among other things):
	keycode 117 (keysym 0xff67, Menu)
when the "menu" key was pressed with the pointer in the "Event Tester"
window.  Is there something I'm missing here?

I've actually checked a file (where, I can't remember) that lists the
various keycodes and keysyms, and that key wasn't in there (listed by
keycode).  I suppose I am wondering just where does xev get the info
for its interpretation of the keypresses?

I'll see if I can use your dvorak xmodmap file for enlightening my
confused self.

Thanks for the help so far.
