[PLUG] Re: Help with setting Function key values in console

[Matt Alexander]

Actually...  It works on the command line to do this:

# loadkeys
keycode 63 = F55
string F55 = "\033[6~"

But when I put these same lines in my us.kmap file, it just prints 6~.
Does anyone know how to get the escape sequence to work properly from
within the keymap file?
Thanks,
~M
