	As long as you have escape and the printing ascii characters, you
should be able to simulate any function key you want, if you are desparate
enough!  You want to hear about brain damaged?  Some years ago (1982 or so?)
we bought a NEC spinwriter (7700, I think).  They keyboard had no [ and ]
(actually, I think { and } might have been missing too).
