I compiled the beta version of the epoch from the distribution.
This is the first attemt after epoch 3.2
Everything seems fine except I cannot use ant of the function or
the arrow keys. The default .emacs file, which I get from the net some while
ago has no problem with emacs18.57 and epoch 3.2
I am on a IBM RS6000 at 3.1.5 level.

A couple of lines from .emacs file is as follows.

(define-key esc-map "[" fnkey-map)

; Third, bind functions to the various keys.  Note that you must use
; internal lisp function names, which are usually but not always the
; names used with meta-x.
; You can get them using ctrl-h k or a
; definitions for the number pad *on the right*
(define-key fnkey-map "A" 'previous-line)               ; the up arrow
; definitions for the function keys * on top *
(define-key fnkey-map "001q" 'comment-top)              ; the F1 key
; definitions for the function keys in ibm in epoch-3.2
(define-key fnkey-map "11~" 'comment-top)               ; the F1 key
(define-key fnkey-map "12~" 'comment-middle)            ; the F2 key


What suprises me is I can not get even the bindings. When I press
C-Q and F1 I used to get the sequence for F1 key so I can define them
Pressing C-Q and a letter gives me letter, but pressing C-Q and any other
key does not return anything.
What can I do.
Did I defined something wrong. Compilation was clean without any errors

I found also that there is no place where xkeys-aix.h is included anymore.
Is this file obsalate or not? It seems it defines all the necessary keys
and mappings. Any help is appreciated.
