Does anyone know how to use xmodmap to change the keyboard mappings?

I spend most of my time here connected to VAX machines, so I need a good
VT emulation.  The xterm vt102 mode is pretty good except for apparently
not having the PF1-PF4 keypad keys mapped.  [Doing VMS without the Gold
key is *very* painful.]]

Anyway, I read the man page for xmodmap several times.  What it doesn't
tell me is how to assign a series of ascii codes to a key.  What I need
is to be able to assign the string "<esc>[OP" to a key.

Anyone know how to do this?
