Actually, the patch I posted is bogus and doesn't fix anything.
The following works for me, but will probably break others.
I'm not sure how to make bouth 120 and 208 produce a HKTG,
and both KPDC and 211 produce a AB11. I only need the former in
each case, but for people who need the latter, my patch falls appart.
And if I take the commends out, my keys go to NoSymbol land.

That is weird. I'm not entirely sure that all Japanese keyboards
are created equal, and right now I only have one to test on.
I'll be home in about a week and I can test on an IBM keyboard.
