Re: Odd character sequence for text based program.

[Bill Purcell <william@whpiv.net>]

Ok, I guess I wasn't hitting ESC-[-8 fast enough.  I spent sometime
today trying to figure out if this was some kind of escape sequence
but I guess I was thinking too far into it.  When I hit this sequence
as fast as I could at the prompt, I was able to do what I needed to
do.  

How would I go about setting, say, F8 to send "<ESC>[8" to the terminal?
