Hi.  I'd like to map some functions to my Sun function keys but can't
seem to get it to work from .emacs.  When I try C-h c on an unchanged
F9 key, it says something to the effect that C-X * i t has nothing 
mapped to it.  When I use something of the form (global-set-key "\C-x*it" ...)
in .emacs, there seems to be no effect.  I tries making a local copy
of sun-keys.el and modifying the keymap with the Rn keys (arrow keys)
but couldn't get that to work either.  What's the answer?  I'm using
GNU emacs 18.49.2 on a Sun 3/60 and the installation is fairly generic,
I believe (no hackers/gurus here...).

Also, are there diffs to go from 18.49.2 to the latest version available to
non-ftp and non-uucp users?  (i.e. I am looking for an email archive)

Thanks,
Dave Smythe      dsmythe@cup.portal.com
