     NAME
          XmTranslateKey-The default keycode-to-keysym translator

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Xm.h>

          void XmTranslateKey (display, keycode, modifiers, modifiers_return, keysym_return)
               Display   *display;
               KeyCode   keycode;
               Modifiers modifiers;
               Modifiers *modifiers_return;
               KeySym    *keysym_return;


     DESCRIPTION
          XmTranslateKey is the default XtKeyProc translation
          procedure for Motif applications.  The function takes a
          keycode and modifiers and returns the corresponding keysym.

          XmTranslateKey serves two main purposes: new translators
          with expanded functionality can call it to get the default
          Motif keycode-to-keysym translation in addition to whatever
          they add, and so that the default translator can be
          reinstalled.  This function enables keysyms defined by the
          Motif virtual bindings to be used when an application
          requires its own XtKeyProc to be installed.


          display     Specifies the display that the keycode is from

          keycode     Specifies the keycode to translate

          modifiers   Specifies the modifier keys to be applied to the
                      keycode

          modifiers_return
                      Specifies a mask of the modifier keys actually
                      used to generate the keysym (an AND of modifiers
                      and any default modifiers applied by the
                      currently registered translator)

          keysym_return
                      Specifies a pointer to the resulting keysym
