Patch p2 should be applied to Tk 4.2 ( --> Tk 4.2p2);
otherwise ALT-Key-bindings, as they normally can be used in xtem
via the variables bindkeys(...) --- see ``Installation & Maintenance Guide''
section ``The Local Files / Setting Files / install.vst''
and file ..../locals_english.LRW/install.vst --- will cause
error messages when these key-bindings are used.

You need not to apply the patch Tk4.2p2 in total, you only need to
do the following modification in Tk-file menu.tcl
(normally located in /usr/local/lib/tk4.2/menu.tcl)

diff -c  menu.tcl menu.tcl.orig
