I recently moved from a VMS system to UNIX (System V, sort of). 
Although I am generally happy with my new environment, one thing
that I really miss is the capability in VMS of defining terminal's
function keys.  Is there a way to define function keys to execute
certain commands in UNIX?  For example, can one press f17 (I have
a vt220) to execute "/bin/ps -w -u smith"?
