If you are trying to generate a keystroke for an xterm, the xterm won't accept a synthetic keystroke unless you've selected allow sendevents. (Its a security hole to allow it.) Do some Google searches on xwindows synthetic. The first hit I got discussed the issues in the context of a security exploit. It also mentioned some programs. Fvwm doesn't have a command to generate keystrokes. (Note: this reply was first posted in 2002.) -- Dan Espen
