You can confirm that with ` C-h l'. So I think you are out of luck and cannot bind independently of "-" in xterm. But a little bit of Googling suggests that you might be able to get xterm to send escape sequences via X resources; then Emacs should automatically recognize via function-key-map. Please let us know if you figure out how to get xterm to send escape sequences for the keypad. -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
