F1 through F9 all generate strings in the style '[23~'.
I want to activate the right function keys; R1 through R15 do not
generate any type of string (except for the direction keys which do).
I have tried looking at xmodmap but it doesn't seem to do what I want.
Please send me e-mail if you have the answer. Thanks.

> [wanting to know about getting sun function key escape sequences]
There are two things in the R3 xterm that might do what you want:
o there is a new resource option that can be set to cause function keys
to generate Sun keyboard escape codes.
o you will be able to attach arbitrary strings to event sequences
using the normal X Toolkit translation resources.

I am fortunate enough to have a SUN at home as well as in the office. Thus I depend heavily on the SUN F and R function keys which I bind to emacs commands. There are two ways to run emacs; the normal way and inside an xterm such as when logged in over a phone line. In normal usage, emacs takes charge and sensible sun keybindings from my .emacs file provide the customization I prefer. For usage inside an xterm, it was necessary to hack xterm to compensate for its assumptions. If anyone else has a similar environment and wants these changes, I'll send them to you.
