The right hand function keys do work in emacstool! (mostly)
The keys unique to the type-4 keyboard {-,+,Enter} are not supported...
This is a bug in the way sunview encodes these keys.
They do not generate events which satisfy "event_is_key_right()"
instead, they simply generate the escape sequence events... 

You can still use those function keys, by binding in sun-raw-map.
