I've made a copy of my solution to this problem available via anonymous ftp. Ftp host: titan.rice.edu (128.41.1.30) File: public/rebind.el This collection of functions will help you if your function keys are transmitted character sequences, but you're having trouble binding functions to those sequences, because of existing keymaps in the way and such. It may reduce the disgusting appearance of your key-binding code in your initialization files, if you've already managed to bind your sun function keys to functions, using 'define-key. It won't help you get the function keys to transmit character sequences, if they aren't doing that already. -- Ben Chase , Rice University, Houston, Texas
