I'd like my right "ALT" key to actually function as an alt key.  "xev" reports that the right hand ALT key is by default doing "keycode 108 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_switch)".  How can I make it do Alt_R?

You can do it with the xmodmap utility.  I don't know the program well enough to help with specifics, but the man page should help you.

xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Alt_R"
xmodmap -e "add mod1 = Alt_R"

I forgot one line:

xmodmap -e "remove mod4 = Mode_switch"
xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Alt_R"
xmodmap -e "add mod1 = Alt_R"
