: a) Probably!

You can't tell by looking.
Tell Kermit to "set term keypad application" and see if the PF keys suddenly
start to work.
: c) I set both the terminal and command bytesize to 8 bits.

I would be surprised if this fixed it, but it's worth a try:
set key \315 \27\KPF1
This assigns to the PC's F1 key (\315) the sequence Escape (\27) and then
the \KPF1 verb, whose action depends on the terminal keypad mode.
You might want to check other apps on your system. Do the same function
keys still work with them? (Maybe when installing the new HP app, the
termcap/terminfo database was changed.)
Also be sure to use SHOW KEY in Kermit to make sure that you have not
inadvertantly changed your key definitions.
