Unfortunately, there is no information on extended keyboard mapping in the "MacX User's Guide." However, according to MacX engineering, the PATHWORKS "MacX User's Guide" shows such a map in Chapter 1, Section "Mouse and Keyboard Differences". For example, the "Page Up" key is used to scroll to the beginning of a text field or to the top of a list.
Also, the user can use "xev", an X11 client to print contents of X events, to determine the keyboard mapping. "xev" is normally found in X11 client distribution. It is available in A/UX X11 Window System. The "xev" program creates a window and then asks the X server to send "events" whenever anything happens to the window. Events may include move, resize window, mouse clicked in, and keyboard typed in, and so forth. These reports can be displayed from the "Command Output" menu of the "Remote" menu in MacX.
