%>I would like to use my function keys (F1-F8) to save keystrokes.
%>My keyboard generates "ESC O c-j" for F1-F8 respectively.

Go to the shelf and get the book.
The manual for your terminal should tell you haow to program the
F keys.
Thank god each terminal appears to be different! (:-)/2)
THis is often a task that involves doing things that are not obvious

Have fun
