Dear managers,
If you want to map command strings or certain actions to funktion
keys in xterm tool, you have to edit ~/.Xdefaults or
/usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults/XTerm.

Following lines enable L6 and L8 for cut-and-paste and alias F1 to the
ls-command.
XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \
        <Key>F1: string("ls") string(0x0d)\n\
        <Key>L6:select-set(CLIPBOARD)\n\
        <Key>L8:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD)

To be able to use F1 for a user defined function, comment line

  #xmodmap -e 'keysym F1 = Help'

in .xinitrc. It shall also be possible to use xmodmap to map function
keys.
