Wrong, wrong, wrong!  You can only program the SHIFTED function keys.  The
non-shifted keys send out an escape sequence, and this behaviour can NOT be
modified.  Not only that, but F1-F5 are DEDICATED for things like "SETUP"
"LOCAL/ONLINE" etc, and couldn't be re-programmed anyway!  CONTROL-3 is
more convenient than SHIFT-F1!

No,  I'm afraid DEC really screwed this one up good!
