Message-ID: <20010519084851.67E2119A18@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)

there's little function key support.
the function keys only got properly
handled in the keyboard driver two years ago.

the use of escape is a historical choice that i
don't fully understand.  (it's been in sam from
research unix, and i wasn't around then.)  maybe
someone else will comment.

hmm...  that works, i suppose, but it's not
exactly direct.
