This is *exactly* the situation I'm in. The solution I was given was to
not use the Linux Keycodes, however if I turn those off, nothing besides
MOL seems to work right. Linux keycodes seem to me to be the way it's going
to be from here forward, so I'm hopeing some sort of a translation can be
made within MOL.
BTW, if you have another machine, you can recover from your "trapped"
situation by telneting and killing MOL from the command line. I've had to
do that several times during my experimentations.
