Mapping keyboard 'special' keys in Linux

I originally posted this in alt.os.linux.ubuntu but received no useful
replys. Therefore I decided to ask the linux community more generally.

I have an eMachines keyboard that has a number of additional convenience
keys (internet, email, etc). I have looked in the Preferences |
Keyboard shortcuts menu and I can't find a way to map 3 of the keys on the
side
of my keyboard that are very convenient. The keys are:

Cut
Copy
Paste

The label on my keyboard says it is a Model KB-0108. Of course, I'm
sure the keyboard is re-badged from another company. It would be easy
to figure out what the hex keycodes for these 3 keys are. I just
haven't a clue how to add them to the computers keymap.

These keys would be very handy to have available. Anybody have any
ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks in advance...

Dick
