I would say the "correct" answer is to modify the XTerm file if all users
should have the same mapping or .Xdefaults if users on the computer need
different mappings.

This should already work.
        <Key>Escape: string("\001") \n\

> shift-esc                     sys req

Sorry, haven't gotten around to this one yet!  (I should though, I want it
too.)

I believe those are are emulator specific and not implemented in tn5250.

I don't know what clear is or does.  Dup is listed as M-d (Meta d) but I
don't know if it's implemented as I've never used it.

This should already work.
        <Key>Control_L: string("\022") \n\

> left-ctrl-alt                 quit

Dunno.

> right-ctrl                    enter

Add this line:
        <Key>Control_R: string("\015") \n\

> enter                         field exit

Add this line:
        <Key>Return: string("\013") \n\

> shift-enter                   newline

Try this line:
        Shift <Key>Return: string("\033\012") \n\

> ctrl-enter                    carrier return

What would a carrier return do?

What version of tn5250 are you using and how did you install it?
