I've seen a couple of postings roll by asking for help in binding
function keys, especially on Suns.  I've made a copy of my solution
to this problem available via anonymous ftp.

This collection of functions will help you if your function keys are
transmitted character sequences, but you're having trouble binding
functions to those sequences, because of existing keymaps in the way
and such.

It may reduce the disgusting appearance of your key-binding code in
your initialization files, if you've already managed to bind your sun
function keys to functions, using 'define-key.

It won't help you get the function keys to transmit character
sequences,  if they aren't doing that already.
