Try setting the translation resource in conjunction with the action "keymap":

    Ex.	*VT100.Translations: #override <Key>F13: keymap(resource_name)
	*VT100.resource_nameKeymap.translations: \
		<Key>F14: keymap(None) \n\
		<Key>F2: string("Kendall P. Schmidt") \n\
		<Key>F3: string("echo '\\033[2J'\n")

See the xterm man page for info about the keymap action.
