#379577
+# The "PC-style" modifier scheme was introduced in xterm patch #94 (1999/3/27)
+# and revised in patch #167 (2002/8/24).
+#
+# The original assignments from patch #94 for cursor-keys had some technical
+# issues:
+#
+# A parameter for a function-key to represent a modifier is just more
+# bits. But for a cursor-key it may change the behavior of the
+# application. For instance, emacs decodes the first parameter of a
+# cursor-key as a repeat count.
+#
+# A parameterized string should (really) not begin with SS3 (\EO).
+# Rather, CSI (\E[) should be used.
+#
+# For these reasons, the original assignments were deprecated. For
+# compatibility reasons, they are still available as a setting of xterm's
+# modifyCursorKeys resource. These fragments list the modified cursor-keys
+# that might apply to xterm+pcfkeys with different values of that resource.
