How do I change the mapping of the keyboard in X11 under A/UX? I want to
assign "esc-a" and "esc-d" to the function keys of the extended keyboard,
because these keystrokes are cursor movements in the X client application
instead of arrow keys.

The command "xmodmap" let's you see the current mapping of your keys. You
can also use this command to modify the mapping of various keys on the
keyboard.

To obtain a display of your current settings, enter the command:

xmodmap -pk

There is a man page for xmodmap that gives you the information necessary
for mapping the keys.
