Hi, if anyone's still using Jove, I need some help in setting some key
bindings.

1) On PC Jove (DOS/W32), Jove knows about all the PgUp, F1, etc. This
is evident when I do a describe-binding, in the list, many of the PC
keys are listed (Del, Insert).

However, how does one set/change a binding to these special keys? Can
I refer to the key using its name? Such as F2, F3? I tried putting it
in [] (like emacs) as in

Bind-to-key save-file [f2]

It didn't work. It took it literally. What I had to do is do a "Quoted
Insert" after "save-file" and press F2. It's interesting that
afterwards, when I look at it in key-binding list, it did indeed
recognize it as F2. so is there a way to specify the key F2 in the
bind-to-key command?

2) when I do an apropos on some command, it sometimes show key binding
like

: previous-window                     (^X {O,P}, ^X {o,p}, Ctl PgUp)

which means after ^x, either a O or P will work.

Is there a way to use this syntax in bind-to-key command? Such as
(obviously didn't work)

Bind-to-key save-file ^x{s,S}

3) Is there a way to do things like (in emacs)

"bind f2 to save-file"
"bind the following key sequence to F2"
"bind the following key sequence to F2"

I learned jove in cs60a, I was hoping someone here still knows a
little about jove. I don't check the newsgroup often, so please send a
reply to my email address also.

Thanks a lot.
