I am trying to customize emacs for non-power users to do things when they
press function-keys on their terminals.  The problem I have is that each
function-key sends a sequence followed by a return, i.e.:

ESC-b RET

How can I catch that return and keep it from going into the text when I
define the function called for each function-key?

I have tried several quick and dirty methods, but none are too satisfying,
so any help you can give me would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance,

Sven
