----------------
I haven't used such a keyboard but the key definition process
should be straight forward and quick. Use Kermit command SET KEY and
press ENTER at that point. The command then prompts for the key to
be define (asks you to press it). The key code is shown together with
any current definition. The second prompt is for a new definition, if
any, and you would then type \KdecF18 or whatever. Make a note of
the key code and your definition.
To automate this first do the by-hand approach above. Then
edit a convenient Kermit TAKE file and write the definitions each
on one line, such as
set key \4425 \kdecPrev ; Enhanced kbd grey Page Up
set key \4433 \kdecNext ; Enhanced kbd grey Page Down
set key \4434 \kdecInsert ; Enhanced kbd grey Insert
set key \4435 \kdecRemove ; Enhanced kbd grey Delete
To see which keyboard verb definitions are available either
read the manual or/and press the "?" key in response to the definition
prompt.
To undefine a key enter an empty definition: set key \4425
The key then represents itself (um, sends ASCII if it generates an ASCII
character, else sends nothing and beeps at you when touched).
