     SYNTAX
          KeySym XStringToKeysym(string)
                char *string;

          char *XKeysymToString(keysym)
                KeySym keysym;

          KeySym XKeycodeToKeysym(display, keycode, index)
                Display *display;
                KeyCode keycode;
                int index;

          KeyCode XKeysymToKeycode(display, keysym)

     ARGUMENTS
          display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

          index     Specifies the element of KeyCode vector.

          keycode   Specifies the KeyCode.

          keysym    Specifies the KeySym that is to be searched for or
                    converted.

          string    Specifies the name of the KeySym that is to be
                    converted.

     DESCRIPTION
          Standard KeySym names are obtained from <X11/keysymdef.h> by
          removing the XK_ prefix from each name.  KeySyms that are
          not part of the Xlib standard also may be obtained with this
          function.  Note that the set of KeySysms that are available
          in this manner and the mechanisms by which Xlib obtains them
          is implementation dependent.

          If the keysym name is not in the Host Portable Character
          Encoding the result is implementation dependent.  If the
          specified string does not match a valid KeySym,
          XStringToKeysym returns NoSymbol.

          The returned string is in a static area and must not be
          modified.  The returned string is in the Host Portable
          Character Encoding.  If the specified KeySym is not defined,
          XKeysymToString returns a NULL.

          The XKeycodeToKeysym function uses internal Xlib tables and

          returns the KeySym defined for the specified KeyCode and the
          element of the KeyCode vector.  If no symbol is defined,
          XKeycodeToKeysym returns NoSymbol.

          If the specified KeySym is not defined for any KeyCode,
          XKeysymToKeycode returns zero.
