I've long since lost the moderator password. If anyone feels like
picking up the torch and actually sifting through all the spam let me
know.

You're Welcome!

You need to make sure you have keycodes bound to Super_L/R, Hyper_L/R,
etc. then you need to add these keysyms to a free modifier slot (see
xmodmap). Stumpwm scans this list and figures what mod slot is what
modifier. Then you can bind a command using the same syntax as emacs:

s-!   super + shift + 1
s-S-1 super + shift + 1 (try this if the above doesn't work)
H-n   hyper + n

Thanks! I rearranged it a bit and put it in CVS and added you to the
AUTHORS file.
