 We would like to bind the function keys f1-f12 on the IBM RS/6000-320 keyboard
to specific emacs fucntions but have been unable to determine the complete 
character sequences emitted by these keys. The emacs version is 18.56 and is
using its own X window on the 320 display. 

 When the function keys are pressed while in a Emacs scratch buffer, the display
behaves as if the C-g (bell) key had been pressed and then the following
key sequences appear in the buffer :

             f1 - 01q
             f2 - 02q
              .    .
              .    .
              .    .
            f12 - 12q
            and so on...

 Does anyone know what the complete character sequences being emitted by the 
function keys are ?
