[net.micro] the dumb function keys

The Freedom 100 is not the only terminal that gives out the characters
control-A,<somecharacter>,<cr> for functions keys - so do the non-
programmingable televideos

I've had mine for 3 years now and yet to do ANYTHING resonable with
those functions keys.  And there is SO many of them - 15 on the 925 -
plus a "command" key which turns any of the normal keys into the same
control-A,<the key>,<cr>

Just what good are they as none of the commercial packages will
recognise them?  (i ain't gona' to touch asm code unless i HAVE to -
and at that probably ask some other hacker to do it!)
