ESC O R not interpreted as f3 on a dtterm?

ESC O R not interpreted as f3 on a dtterm?

[D. Goel]

(perhaps this could be a bug in my understanding rather than emacs?)

On a tcsh, 'setenv TERM dtterm', did an emacs -q -nw -no-site-file.
(using dtterm instead of xterm lets emacs get colors, )...

Then 'f3' stops working... If I type C-h f f3, it self-inserts "R"
into the current buffer.

When i view lossage, i do see S O R every time i pressed f3.   Sorry
if this is a false-report---if so, what am i doing wrong?

The problem is probably in the termcap or terminfo entry
for terminal type dtterm.  That is what defines the escape sequences
that terminals send for function keys.

not exactly.  The problem is that he is using the terminfo for dtterm,
rather than one which is correct for his terminal emulator.  It is likely
that he is using XFree86 xterm, which (optionally) sends vt100's PF1-PF4
escape sequences for function-keys F1-F4.
