Hmmm... I have a bunch of files in that symbols directory, but not an "inet" file. So, I checked out the "us" file - which is the default as I understand things. Found a section for the function keys, so added some extra functions (FK13 - Fk17). And I already have a .xmodmaprc file from a previous attempt, that should allow me to map these Function keys to the actions I want...
I'll check it in the morning after I reboot, it's almost time for bed... Thanks for the tip.
