 Redefine Keyboard

 The sequence ESC [#;....#p allows a key to be redefined.

 The first # represents the ascii code of the key to be redefined. If you
 want to define a key with an extended keycode, such as F1, just replace
 the first # with a 0, and give the extended ascii code as the second #.

 The following # is the ascii values for the redefinition.

 Example:

 Redefine Ctrl-D as "DIR"+enter:

 ESC[4;"DIR";13;p
