[comp.windows.open-look] Function keys

macq@miguel.llnl.gov (Don MacQueen) (11/21/90)

I'm running Openwindows 2.0 on a Sparcstation IPC.

1)

I've added xterm and emacs to my root menu under programs (in .openwin-menu).  Now I'd like to get an arbitrary function key (say, F1) to fire up either of these.

I know that in a (standard) X release function keys can be linked to things like f.iconify.  Is there something analagous in OW?  Alternately, can I get F1 to send the string 
"emacs \!* &" (or any arbitrary string) to my cmdtool window?

2)

In a cmdtool window the keys labled Home (R7) and End (R13) do just that.  That is, move the slider clear tothe other end of the scrollbar.  How about getting the keys labeled Page Up and Page Down to scroll a windowful?

Apologies if the group has been through all this recently, and thanks in advance.
