Thanks a lot. I'd never heard of this feature (but I originally set up
my xmodmap settings for control characters more than 10 years ago, so
I wonder if the 0x1000abcd feature existed at that time...).

Also, as I'm currently on my Mac OS X machine, I've just seen that
Apple is using the UABCD form (which seems to be a name for the
0x1000abcd value).

I confirm that this works with both xterm and gnome-terminal.

Thanks again,
