So long as you have the QVT102A model, you can reprogram PF1 to 4 and Shift-PF1
to 4, which correspond to the first 8 function keys on ADM,TVI and larger QVT
terminals. They can have any 8 ASCII characters, and you program them by
enterring SETUP mode (Ctrl-Shift-Setup) and moving the cursor to the last field
of "Set 5 Status Line". Press the key to be programmed (with the Shift key if
appropriate) and then press any key that *won't* be in the string. Enter up to
8 keys, then that same delimiter you typed before.  As with other setup
parameters, save them to non-volatile RAM by Shift-S.

You cannot program Cntrl-PF1 to 4; you cannot program the keys from the host
(unlike the TVI950, etc), and you cannot, it seems, program the function keys
on the QVT102 models other than "A".

If you don't have the "A" version, and you can't upgrade it easily, it might be
possible to do something with an input filter on the host computer - what do
you want to use the terminal with?
