xmodmap maps single keysyms to single keysyms (or single button presses 
to single button presses.)  It cannot map a single keysym to multiple 
keysyms.  This is a basic X toolkit feature/bug and it's not going to 
be changed.

Put the following Message-ID into
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search :
slrnb6nldq.bd4.danceswithcrows@samantha.crow202.dyndns.org

...and read the thread that's a part of for one solution.  I've written 
extensively about xbindkeys and xmacroplay on comp.os.linux.x, so try 
those keywords out on groups.google as well.
