I may do that since the only other (semi-)viable solution I've come 
across is a serious hack job that will have to be done eveytime there is 
a new release of Firefox.

This came up again as I was getting ready to make some entries in RT and 
remembered the last two times I tried to make similar for the same 
ticket.  I got most of the way through and -- because I ahd been using 
emacs just before -- tried to do a ctrl-w to cut a chunk of text.  Lost 
the whole d**n entry.
    I could change the emacs key-mappings but since it's been around 
longer than Firefox/Mozilla and I've used it longer than I've had access 
to the Internet I'll go for a change in the Firefox stuff.

I forget about xmodmap since the GUI for the most part works fine.

Thansk for the reminder.
