That file, suggests that because I am using rxvt-unicode it will source
another file:

  ,----
  | (if (and (getenv "COLORTERM")
  |            (string-match "\\`rxvt" (getenv "COLORTERM")))
  |       (progn
  |       (eval-and-compile (load "term/rxvt"))
  |         (terminal-init-rxvt))
  `----

echo $TERM gives me rxvt-unicode
echo $COLORTERM gives me rxvt-xpm

so in /usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/lisp/term/rxvt.el.gz
,----
|   (substitute-key-definition [f11] [S-f1] function-key-map)
|   (substitute-key-definition [f12] [S-f2] function-key-map)
|   (substitute-key-definition [f13] [S-f3] function-key-map)
|   (substitute-key-definition [f14] [S-f4] function-key-map)
|   (substitute-key-definition [f15] [S-f5] function-key-map)
|   (substitute-key-definition [f16] [S-f6] function-key-map)
`----

This seems to match my problem. I can edit this file or is this not a
good idea? 

One more thing, the Apple keyboard has real F11-F16 keys which I have
not been able to get working under X, 
Option          "XkbModel"      "macintosh" 
seemed like the right choice but perhaps I need to address this first? 

Thanks for you help!
