   Does anyone have any simple examples of how to "load" text
strings into a VT320's function keys?  (Clarification:  I don't
mean making a specific computer interpret the Function keys
properly.  What I mean is actually putting character strings into
the terminal's memory, so that when a specific Func key is pressed
the string is sent to whatever computer I am on.)  The reason for
wanting this is to be able to better navigate through a couple of
data switches.

   I can't seem to figure out how to do it from the manual I have
available (which now I can't find either).  So if someone could
send me an example file, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

 Frank Winstead
