I have just installed GNU Emacs version 18.52 on a Sun 3 as well as
a Sun 4, both running SunOS 4.0 (Export Version). I am accessing these
machines from a greasy VT100 terminal, and I want to use Emacs with
the VAX/VMS EDT editor emulator distributed in the lisp file 'edt.el'.

Of course, there is a problem. And I am not hestitating in taking
this problem to the net: my system configurations are not rare or exotic
ones, so I really think *somebody* will have encountered this same
problem, whether it's a bug, or whether I am doing something wrong
(much more likely!).

The problem: the PF1-keypad combinations do not work. All other key
bindings (single keypad keys, PF1-key*board* combinations) work
perfectly.
More specific example: the combination PF1-[keypad]4 inserts the string
"Ot" in my current buffer, and beeps because - naturally - the
combination "ESC-O-P ESC" is not bound to any function.

So how do I get PF1-4 to bind to the entire "ESC-O-P ESC-O-t" string?

(Note: I have not changed one character in either the Emacs C-code or
the edt.el lisp-code before or after compilation, except for inserting 
the appropriate m- and s- header files.)

I hope that this turns out to be a very simple question. My thanks in
advance to anybody kind enough to help me.
