Odds are high that your windowing system is eating those key
sequences.  If you want to see if you can use it, you can simply edit
your .emacs and type in the global-set-key, but to enter the sequence,
type the opening quote, C-q (or if flow control is a problem, use "M-x
quoted-insert" if you must) then type the function key itself and the
closing quote.  If the window system isn't trapping that key, you
should get the proper string in quotes.  (then, if you want, replace
the literal escape with "\e" -- shouldn't matter.)
