When I press Control+H followed by k to get help regarding commands associated 
with keys.  Then subsequently pressing <Shift>F3, emacs only presents the 
command, if any, associated with F3, not <Shift>F3.  It does not understand the 
F3 was pressed while holding down <Shift>.

Is there a xmodmap solution or is it an emacs problem?

Thanks,

Tom
