     SETKEY(C)		      XENIX System V		     SETKEY(C)

     Name
	  setkey - Assigns the function keys.

     Syntax
	  setkey keynum string

     Description
	  The setkey command assigns the given ANSI string to be the
	  output of the computer function key given by keynum.	For
	  example, the command:

	       setkey 1 date

	  assigns the string "date" as the output of function key 1.
	  The string can contain control characters, such as a newline
	  character, and should be quoted to protect it from
	  processing by the shell.  For example, the command:

	       setkey 2 "pwd ; lc\n"

	  assigns the command sequence "pwd ; lc" to function key 2.
	  Notice how the newline character is embedded in the quoted
	  string.  This causes the commands to be carried out when
	  function key 2 is pressed. Otherwise, the Enter key would
	  have to be pressed after pressing the function key, as in
	  the previous example.

     Notes
	  setkey works only on the console keyboard.

	  The string mapping table is where the function keys are
	  defined.  It is an array of 512 bytes (typedef strmap_t )
	  where null terminated strings can be put to redefine the
	  function keys. The first null terminated string is assigned
	  to the first string key, the second to the second string
	  key, and so on.  There is one string mapping table per
	  multiscreen.

	  Although the size of the setkey string mapping table is 512
	  bytes, there is a limit of 30 characters that can be
	  assigned to any individual function key.

	  Assigning more than 512 characters to the string mapping
	  table causes the function key buffer to overflow. When this
	  happens, the sequences sent by the arrow keys are
	  overwritten, effectively disabling them.  Once the function

	  key buffer overflows, the only way to enable the arrow keys
	  is to reboot the system.

	  The table below lists the  keynum values for the function
	  keys:
