If you get a copy of tooltool 2.1 or higher, there is a module called
func_fix.c which handles converting function keys from the ANSI sequences
to single events.  It was designed to be installed in most any application
to transparently map function keys.

You can get a copy via anonymous FTP from trantor.harris-atd.com
(26.13.0.98) in /pub/suntools/tooltool, or from uunet.uu.net in
comp.sources.sun, or (I think) from the Rice archive server.
