Hi All,

 I am running FreeBSD 2.1 on a ThinkPad 755CD. My question concerns
the F1 key which I generally define as buffer-ring in my .emacspfkeys 
file. Whenever I hit this key in emacs it is interpreted as ^H. (All
the other PF keys work fine). This occurs if I'm running emacs on the
local X-server, on another X display, or within an xterm. The same 
thing happens when I run on the console with the X-server disabled.

 If I hit F1 in the shell or running od, I see the usual F1 escape
sequences, I assume emacs must be remapping this key. (?)

 I'm running emacs 19.29.1

 Can anyone offer any advice on how I can get "normal" F1 key behaviour?


			Thanks!
