Ignorance … I was put off by the description of `input-decode-map' that
starts with:

     This variable holds a keymap that describes the character
     sequences sent by function keys on an ordinary character terminal.

I also read about using `key-translation-map' this way at
https://ergoemacs.github.io/faq.html and it was working well until
I wanted to chain them.

Thanks to your suggestion, this is what I'm now doing:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(define-key local-function-key-map (kbd "<f19>") (kbd "<apps>"))
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "<apps> d") (kbd "C-c"))
#+end_src

Everything seems to be working this way.

Thanks again,

Alan
