The first step is to determine whether that key combination actually  
generates a terminal keystroke.

In a terminal window, run "od -t x1", press your key combination, then CTRL- 
D to send EOF to od.

If od reports that it received some kind of a key sequence, then it's a  
simple matter of modifying your existing xterm terminfo to add that mapping  
for the insert key.

If no key sequence is received in a terminal window, you're out of luck.
