How does the location of the startup batch file affect the behavior of
numlock and capslock in xterm?

I for one did peruse the mailing list archives, and did a bunch of
google searching, before posting here. I saw how things had been
moved from /usr/X11R6/foo to /usr/foo. (That change makes zero sense
to me, but what the hell, I'm just a luser). I do not see how that
affects the behavior of xterm, especially capslock/numlock/toolbar
behavior. Maybe I'm just dense.
Try to see the frustration of the people who are asking these
questions -- suddenly things are broken, and it is not apparent why,
and the cygwin websites say nothing, and the hundreds of mailing-list
messages do not appear to address the questions we have.
