- Chris,
-
- X key assignments are documented in the "SAS Companion for UNIX Environment
- and Derivatives". The files located in /usr/lib/sas/X11/app-defaults set up
- the key assignments when copied into the proper directories. Each file has
- an explanation of its use in the form of comments.
-
- Good luck,
- Bob
