To: Knowledgable Amiga users

A friend of mine has an Amiga but does not have access to usenet. He wants
to know:

How do you bind the function keys to a specific command (CLI command is what
I think he means). For example, make a particular key equal to "cd /usr/bin"
or whatever. I guess he wants some sort of unix like 'alias' capability
but for function keys, not keystroke combinations (although if he could
do that I think he would be happy).  I know various terminals make this
easy, but for example on a Mac I think  its a little tougher and so function
keys (fkeys) are used for more complex things (screen dumps, etc)

Anyway, he has looked through all his Amiga documentation to no avail, so 
even a pointer on where to look there would be appreciated. 

Please respond by mail if possible ( I try to read this group for this
guy but I can't even get him to take the time to download & build
Dave Wecker's vt100 program, so I'm kind of loosing interest & falling behind)

Thanks, Folks
