I have purchased a DEC VT320 terminal and have a question about the
function keys on the top row.  I use troff with the -ms macros when
writing papers in German, and therefore frequently must type the
character strings "a\*:" to make an a with umlaut, or "o\*:" for an o
with umlaut.  Can I define a function key to generate a character sequence
like this, and how?  The owner's manual makes reference to this and has
a nice programming reference guide in the back.  But for actual examples
it says to refer to the programming manual which I do not have.  I would
appreciate any help on this.
