I found a man page on dumpkeymap  
(http://www.xfree86.org/current/dumpkeymap.1.html) (from 
http://www.xfree86.org/current/manindex1.html).

"dumpkeymap prints a textual representation of each Apple/NeXT  
.keymapping file mentioned on the command-line."

Reading more of the man page, it appears that the Apple/NeXT keymap 
files support assigning strings to keys so as to create what I call 
keyboard macros (you press one key and several (a whole string) get 
sent to the application.

Is this keymapping facility unique to Apple/NeXT (XDarwin??) or is it 
also part of XFree?  If so, is it present in both 3.3.6 and more recent 
versions?

Is there documentation aimed more specifically at XFree rather than 
Apple/Next?  Can this facility be used to create keyboard macros?
