You might need to modify the system.mwmrc file, rather than
app-defaults (/usr/athena/lib/X11/system.mwmrc). On a related
note, modifying the file to accept the F12 key on sun keyboards
would be nice too. If you want to do so, this patch should work.
(This way, people can type either Alt-F12 _or_ Alt-Again to raise
their windows. Currently, they have to type Alt-Again, despite
the fact the the MWM menus *claim* that they have to type Alt-F12.)
