I meant to send this to the list, but accidentally sent it only
to Enrique so I'm forwarding this to the list so the information
can be archived if someone finds it useful.

As Jay says it won't work as they send more.  But it's usually
quite easy to see what they send.

Before you press F1 press Control-V and then F1.  

If I press F1 here I get an error message but if I press
control-V F1 I get this:

    

The ^[  means that is contrl [ - aka Esk.

So you need to see what codes your F1 sends right before the ~1

It could be ^[ - or it may be something else.

Make a copy of the termcap, and change it to match.

If you get ^[ substitue \E   - which means the same thing.
\E is shorthand for Escape, wich is control left bracket,
orr 0x1b in hex, 033 in octal.    Using the \E means you don't have
to learn the alternate form for signifying escape.

Since I don't have a Linux booted at the moment, and if I ssh in
I'll be using the terminal I'm logging in with I can't be sure so I
wont tell you.

But in almost all current Unix systems you can use the 
control-V <key> to get the sequence on the command line.

If that does not work, bring up vi, go into insert mode,

type control-V followed by the key you wish to find the codes for.
