I have a DEC LK250 keyboard on a PC, and would like to use it in
"VT200" mode in a program.   In order to do this, I have to get
keypresses from the F17-F20 keys, and PF1-PF4 (VT designations).

These correspond to NUMLOCK, SYSREQ, etc, and don't seem to generate
scancodes ....  But my Zstem terminal emulator handles them with no
problem.

What does it take to read this keyboard like a VT?  Some special driver?

Thanks for any help...
