This is mine - it lives in my home dir. Not sure what you mean by
focus options but this works for me. Sorry for long post and all the
commented out stuff! BTW - the keystate_numlock line isn't working and
if anyone knows how to fix it I'd love to hear it!

# Here's a hack from John Meacham:

bind a exec ratpoison -d :0.0 -c "echo `date +'%r - %A %n    %D - %B'`
 `cal | tail +2 | sed -e 's/^Su/\n\n Su/' -e 's/.*/ & /' -e \"s/\
$(date +%e)\ /\<$(date +%e)\>/\"`"

# it produces output like the following in the message window, very handy:
