I'm running Xemacs under SunOs v4.1_PRS_A, with X11R4 window system.
Emacs version is 18.55.3 and Xterminal being used is a X-19 by Visual.

I've tried some various things with emacs and xemacs, and the problem I'm
having is that when I run emacs in an xterm window, with term set to vt100,
all the keys map properly so that, one may attach emacs binding to the
keys. (i.e I can set emacs command on the keypad section)

yet if I run an Xemacs session, with xterm as terminal type or vt100. the
keypad and functions keys react funny. I tried doing a M-x quoted-insert on
the keys in question and there was no reaction from hitting the key.
Basically the key no longer exists.

 I'm not a great expert on this, and would appreciate information on how I
could enable the keys in xemacs. or if these keys are bound elsewhere in
the system.

 btw, I'm not part of the sys admin here at all, so a solution that doesn't
require recompiling emacs would be appreciated.
