In a terminfo description of a terminal with function keys F1 - F15, should
I leave kf0 undefined and map F1 to kf1, or should F1 be mapped to kf0, F2 to
kf1 and so on?

And what about shifted functions keys? Assuming F1 is mapped to kf0, should
SHIFT-F1 be mapped to kf15 or should I simply ignore F11 - F15 and map SHIFT-F1
to kf10?

Please reply by mail and I'll summarize on the net.

Thanks
