I think, that by replacing the hard-coded strings in brief.sl with the
appropriate Key_* variables from keydefs.sl, much can be won and it should
run smoothly with xjed on a IPMPC (say with Linux).

E.g.

- setkey ("brief_home", "\xE0G");	       %  Home
- setkey ("brief_home", "Ow");	       %  Home
- setkey ("brief_end", "\xE0O");	       %  End
- setkey ("brief_end", "Oq");	       %  End
- setkey ("brief_delete","\xE0S");       %  Delete
- setkey ("brief_delete","\xOn");        %  Delete

+ requires("keydefs");
+ setkey ("brief_home", Key_Home);
+ setkey ("brief_end", Key_End);
+ setkey ("brief_delete", Key_Delete);
