Hmm, why doesn't [f1] work?  For example,

 (global-set-key [f1]   'next-error)
 (global-set-key [S-f1] 'compile)

works just fine for me...

Ah, *that's* your problem!!  Emacs manuals dated Feb 88 are for Emacs
18 (as it says right on the cover), which didn't have much if any X
support.

If you want a manual which documents the new features of Emacs 19,
you'll have to get a manual for Emacs 19.  One comes in every Emacs
distribution, in on-line form.  Check out the menu item: Help -> Info.
