I received many suggestions on what may have been the problem regarding the
L-function keys not working on my SparcStation. First of all, many people
kindly pointed out to me I did not say what windowing system I was using.
Oooops, we are using SunView. The first suggestion I received worked, and
that was to edit .defaults and set Input SunViewKeys to Yes. Other suggestions
included, but not tried since the first worked:
* Check for a .ttyswrc file in the user's home directory. (I assume this may
have key bindings if we had such a file.)
* Check for Caps-Lock on. (Popular suggestion, but we would have noticed that
one :-)
* Rebooting was another popular suggestion.
* Try "reset" or "input_from_defaults"
* Check to see if the user has changed the window manager
initialiazation files, like .twmrc (the tab window manager
under X windows).
* Look at the kb(4m) section of the manual, to help determine how the keys
are mapped.
