Hello!
Installing xfree 1.2 on my linux (SLS99p6) system, I get a beep while
pressing the "# - key". I have an US-Keyboard and in text mode all went
well. And in X-Windows all went well except "#" (shift 3). Who has an idea?

Thanks in advance.

Well, on a ISC 3.01 system, I had (basically) the same problem, the # key
was gone, as well as the BackSpace key not working.  I found that a

stty erase '^h'

took care of the problem, made my BackSpace key work, and gave me back
my # key.   There is an app-default for XTerm, that will set it however
I've forgotten what it was. (Perhapse someone else?)

This is because '#' is the default erase key in unix.  (what is uses when
when it doesn't know any better).  Most of time you only need to use it
to correct text while logging in (exept on the console).

I don't know why or the proper fix but your # key has been remapped to
DELETE TO START OF LINE. Type 'stty' and it will show you. My solution
is to reset it to proper values in my .cshrc file.
