Editing the appropriate functions in we_edit.c will change the key
bindings.  Could you tell me what you want to change?  (we-main.c
and we_menue.c has what the menues display but that doesn't affect
the key bindings.

Surprising.  Most people like xwpe because of the Borland style bindings.
What would you prefer?  (I think I've had one or two requests for an emacs
binding but that's it.)

What version of xwpe are you using?  Xwpe has always had seperate X and
text colors.  In old versions there was a case or two where it would
only save one and the other would get messed up.  This hasn't been
true for a while though.  In the new xwperc files you will see

...
AutoIndent : 3
[Color/Term]
er : 15 4
...
ws : 7
[Color/X11]
er : 0 7
...

As you can see the colors for text and X are clearly seperated.
