In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3_U1, X toolkit) of Fri Sep 16 1994 on bullwinkle.eecs.umich.edu

I whish it would be possible to assign function keys with
the 

(global-set-key key lisp-function)

where key would be f1, f2, ... (any function keys)
I think the problem is that there is no special characters for a
function key, similar to the \M- for meta or \C- for control
(as described in page 233 of the EMACS manual  (feb 88))

For example, defining \F-11 as function key 11 would do it.

Thanks,
Alexandre
