Thanks to all those who reminded me of xev and xmodmap, which can be
used to make any key have any role, when running X.

This still leaves the puzzle of why the DEL key transmits nothing
when one logs in and does not run X.

That issue can be avoided by always running X, but sometimes it
is useful to log in and do something quickly, without starting up X.

Maybe the problem will go away when we finally install HP-UX V9.
