Generate F12 as an input event

Generate F12 as an input event

[PT]

Hi,

I know I can generate simple character input events for the command loop:

      (push ?t unread-command-events)

How can I do the same with function keys like F12 which don't
correspond to a single character?

Thanks.

Cool, thanks!

Is it documented somewhere? I tried to search for it in the elisp manual, 
but maybe  I didn't look hard enough.

Here you go:

(info "(elisp) Function Keys")

Thanks. I went straight to "Keyboard Events" through the index. 
Somehow I assumed  I'd find function keys under it. :-o
