Emacs version:	19.27

Platform:	HP720 running HP-UX 9.03

The VT220 ESC key is function key 11 (F11), which sends the string
"\e[23~".  Using a VT220 terminal, type "ESC ESC" (i.e., type the F11
key twice), and the minibuffer displays this prompt:

	Eval: [23~

The cursor is positioned immediately to the right of the '~'.  I have
found that placing this code in my .emacs file prevents the problem
without breaking anything else:

      (define-key esc-map "\e" nil)
      (define-key esc-map "\e[23~" 'eval-expression)

(Of course, the above code is VT220-specific, and should only be
executed if Emacs is running on a VT220.)

Perhaps this is a bug in the way that read-key-sequence maps function
keys.  If you think there is no bug in read-key-sequence, then perhaps
the above two lines of Lisp could be added to lisp/term/vt220.el (and
any other lisp/term/vt*.el file that may need them).
