Hmmmm....Guess I need to be a little more specific: I am using an older machine as a ibm 5250 terminal using xt5250 (an emulator that runs under X). The machine boots from a floppy and then in turn runs bootp to get net info and then NFS mounts a remote dir and then downloads an OS image from the server. Then startx is called and simply uses the raw X server to run the xt5250 emulator. (all this amounts to turning a 486 into a cheap IBM5250 terminal). I would like the user to be able to run a shell command by using a key combination...NOT by launching a pseudo-terminal and typing it into the command line. It would be great if I could simply have X trap the key combo and then issue the appropriate command. Any Help?
