As far as I can tell, the XK_Page_Up and XK_Page_Down keysyms were added to /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h as aliases for XK_Prior and XK_Next just to support the IBM PC/AT keyboard back in 1991 (comp.windows.x message <10265@scolex.sco.COM>). But X11 had been around since 1987, X10 since 1985, and X9 (the first to support the IBM PC) since 1985 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_window_system#History). Emacs 19 was the first major version to run in its own X window, but Emacs 18.52 ran under X10 back in 1988. Emacs doesn't know what's engraved on your keyboard keys, so it uses the orginal keysyms for the key codes sent by the Prior/PageUp and Next/PageDown keys. -- Kevin Rodgers
