Placing the following lines into $HOME/.xmodmaprc and then executing the
command "xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc" will modify the kepmap of a Sun Ultra 1
workstation with a "standard" keyboard such that the numeric keypad will act
the same as a DEC VTxxx terminal,

keycode  53 = KP_F2                      
keycode  54 = KP_F3                    
keycode  57 = KP_Decimal
keycode  75 = KP_7
keycode  76 = KP_8
keycode  77 = KP_9 
keycode  78 = KP_F4
keycode  97 = KP_Enter
keycode  98 = KP_4                           
keycode  99 = KP_5                           
keycode 100 = KP_6                           
keycode 101 = KP_0                           
keycode 105 = KP_F1                                                       
keycode 119 = KP_1
keycode 120 = KP_2
keycode 121 = KP_3
keycode 132 = KP_Separator  # this is what X calls the , on the numeric keypad


The key labeled "Num Lock" now acts like a proper PF1 key, the / on the
numeric keypad acts like PF2, the * acts like PF3, etc.  The numbers all send
themselves and work correctly in EDT/TPU/LSE.

All windows use the same X keymap.  I plan on putting PF1, PF2, PF3 PF4
stickers on those keys so that users know how they now work.
