All you have to do is use the "echo" command to send the following
characters to the terminal:

	ESC [ key_number ; string_length q string

where ESC has octal value 033, key_number is one of the digits 1
through 8, string is the characters you want to associate with the
function key, and string_length is the number of characters in that
string.  For example:
	echo '\033[1;5qexit\r'	# store "exitCR" in PF Key #1
