Oh, PLEASE tell me that's not what I really typed.  That would be wrong!

I meant

cat > >.xmodmop <<HERE
keycode 115 = F31
HERE

Where <<STRING
means

read the following input till you hit STRING and make it be the standard input 
to the program.

Really, though, I wouldn't use this; it's just something you could 
cut-n-paste, if only I had typed it right.

Really, I'd advise invoking your favorite text editor on .xmodmap and typing 
the code in.  I was just showing a way to do it that was less ambiguous.

Also, the -e way of invoking xmodmap (which I didn't know about) is probably a 
better way to do this anyway.
