To whom ever wrote/maintains VT100 2.8a;

     I was wondering if it would be possible to remap the Function key to
something other than F5, f5 etc. I know that the first 4 unshifted keys are
escape sequences, but the rest are just straight strings.

    I was trying to set up a mapping for vi here at work for when I log in
from my Ami at home, but the system will not allow Fx to be mapped to anything.
I get a "Too dangerous to map" error message. Just about any escape sequence
would do, or allow user to reprogram them as he see's fit.

    Maybe for 2.9????? Is the source for VT100 available as PD?

Thanks for even considering this, 

Monty
