Ann Arbor Ambassador question

Can anyone tell me how to enable and/or program the function keys 
on an Ann Arbor Ambassador, 60 line terminal (old model, pre-XL)?
Also, how about the making the numeric keypad generate ESC sequences
rather than numbers?  It sometimes will generate ANSI sequences for the
arrow keys, but I haven't figured out what, besides the SETUP menu, 
can change this behavior.  Obviously, I don't have the appropriate 
manual.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Here's a file I used to cat at my terminal to set things up.
Perhaps you can use it as an example.
Note that all the "@" should really be ESC,
but I couldn't include that character in the article.
