key-name
Specifies the name of the key that you are defining. All
definable keys on VT52 terminals are located on the numeric
keypad. On VT100-series terminals, you can define the left and
right arrow keys as well as all the keys on the numeric keypad.
On terminals with LK201 keyboards, the following three types of
keys can be defined:
o Keys on the numeric keypad
o Keys on the editing keypad (except the up and down arrow keys)
o Keys on the function key row across the top of the keyboard
(except keys F1 to F5)
The following table lists the key names in column one. The
remaining three columns indicate the key designations on the
keyboards of the three different types of terminals that allow
key definitions.

Some definable keys are enabled for definition all the time.
Others, including KP0 to KP9, Period, Comma, and Minus, must be
enabled for definition purposes. You must enter either the SET
TERMINAL/APPLICATION or the SET TERMINAL/NONUMERIC command before
using these keys.
On LK201 keyboards, you cannot define the up and down arrow keys
or function keys F1 to F5. The left and right arrow keys and the
F6 to F14 keys are reserved for command line editing. You must
enter the SET TERMINAL/NOLINE_EDITING command before defining
these keys. You can also press Ctrl/V to enable keys F7 to F14.
Note that Ctrl/V will not enable the F6 key.
equivalence-string
Specifies the character string to be processed when you press
the key. Enclose the string in quotation marks (" ") to preserve
spaces and lowercase characters.
