  Emacs is supposed to generate vt100-like key sequences when the
function keys, the PF keys, and the keys on the movement pad are
pressed.  However, on the vax, the "prev screen", "next screen" and
"remove" keys, as well as the PF keys, do not generate any key
sequences at all when they are pressed inside emacs.

  The RT emacs has similar problems, although not with the PF keys and
not with exactly the same movement keys.

  I checked the sources in /mit/emacs/src/x11term.c, and it it *looks*
like it's doing the right thing, but I must be missing something....
