help with Kermit and 386ix

[Shermane Austin]

I am a new 386ix user and am having problems trying to set up a map
file for key translations when using ckermit for communication with an
IBM mainframe. I have been able to do this with MSKermit and also using
CRTTOOL for my SPARC. The basic translations are for the Fn keys, and the
keypad keys. I also know the escape sequences needed. In terms of
functionality, I want something on the order of:

     IBM key            sequence transmitted
     F4                   ESC4
     F5                   ESC5
     ...                  ...
     etc.

I surmise looking at the ttymap command that I need to specify a
file, but am having problems doing it correctly.

Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. Please email
and thanks in advance.
