Scenario:
you telnet into a device using an xterm. this device uses the Function keys F1-F8 to navigate around a menu. So the F keys have to send literal strings so the device knows what you want to do. How do I map these literal strings in xterm? I've tried Xresources, /etc/termcap, /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, and nothing works. The best I can do is to modify my keymap, but that only works at the console. The first correct answer gets a STAR!!
