Emacstool will handle the Open & Expose keys and encode the others so that they are actually usable by Emacs. In particular, the first char transmitted by a function key in emacstool is ^X, so it not only terminates the I-search, but it is correctly dispatched as a function. Try it, you'll like it. Read .../etc/emacstool.1 (the man page) for more details. See also .../etc/SUN-SUPPORT ps, If you are running under X11 or NeWS, this problem is similarly solved.
