I failed to realise because the doc still says 

  x_set_keysym: intrinsic function
  ...
   DESCRIPTION
     This function may be used to assocate a string `str' with a key
     `keysym' modified by mask `shift'. Pressing the key
     associated with `keysym' will then generate the keysequence
     given by `str'. The function keys are mapped to integers in the
     range `0xFF00' to `0xFFFF'. 
  ...

so I never tried.

Now I see it works like a charm. Thanks.

What happens with jed-99.16 if I use an integer outside the range: will
it silently fail or throw an error. In other words: will I have to put
some saveguards around e.g. 
  x_set_keysym(0xFE20, '$', Key_Shift_Tab); 
to be backwards compatible?
