tpb doesn't deal with these keys AFAICT, they're just ordinary keys with 
semi-strange keycodes.  However, I did "xset -r 234" and autorepeat was 
turned off for that key on my X setup.  Thanks!  I knew it was something very 
simple that I was forgetting.  FWIW, the stanza in my xorg.conf is like so:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard1"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xfree86"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc101"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

...your setup may be totally different.
