; In the following .emacs file I want to be placed into text-mode by default
; and have my function key # 2 on my televideo terminal become the
; scroll-up function.
;
; When I enter emacs I am still in default lisp mode and
; when I hit my F2 key I get the letter A placed onto my screen, but no
; scrollup.
;
; I have read thru the FAQ for emacs but they all show examples of
; function keys that generate an escape code. I feel I am following these
; examples but I can't get mine to work.
;
; I am assuming that I don't have to write some complex function
; definition to get my function keys to work. Most of the examples I have seen,
; both in the FAQ and other books like GNU Emacs from O'Reilly & Assiciates
; seem to state that I can do what I want using the global-set-key features.
; The global-unset-key statements do work, though.
;
;I am hoping someone can code the correct statements to set me up in a
; default text mode, in this case, and also, an example for my F2 key that
; I can then use as an example to setup my remaining function keys.
;
;  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
