I could use some assistance in setting the F keys on a VT240. 
Surprisingly, DEC does not include the Programmer's Manual when you buy one.
All I have is the owner's manual (no help) and the Prog's pocket guide (a
little help, no examples).

I want to place CTRL-_ on one of the keys (F7) and CTRL-^ on another (F6).
The string I created was "$P0;0|17/1E;18/1F$/" , where the "$" are the ESC
character.  I then type the file with this string in it.  Doesn't seem
to work; terminal hangs, F keys are not set.  I'm in VT-200, 7-bit mode.
Any help would be appreciated (I've ordered the manual).  Thanks.
