OK, I read man pages wrong.  The above did not work.  What I did:

	#loadkeys ./mykeys
	Loading ./mykeys
	unknown keysym 'alt'    ;; I tried 'meta' too
	./mykeys:3: parse error
	syntax error in map file
	keybindings not changed
	#

Will someone please jump in with their size 10's and help out?  What is
the correct syntax ( this matched the example in man )?  Should I be
using a different command, or hand editing some file?
