dumpkeys lists keycodes, and there are sections string and compose 
which define F keys and combination keys (s + z to give some extended 
ASCII character viewable with pico after dumpkeys > dumpkeys.txt)

loadkeys can load a keymap table or change individual 
mappings.  To defined PgUp and PgDn on my 84-key keyboard to scroll 
backward and forward like Page Up and Page Down on the larger keyboard, I 
added to /etc/rc.d/rc.M:

/usr/bin/loadkeys << EOF
shift keycode 73 = Scroll_Backward
shift keycode 81 = Scroll_Forward
EOF

So I can probably map the F keys and key combinations outside of X and 
type F1 and F2, or Ctrl-B and Shift-B, for bold on and off '\b' and '\b0 '
or '{\b ' and '}' .

Writing my own RTF editor might be easier than teaching people to use 
their scanners properly but it still won't save download time.

Steven, thanks for the keybindings idea.  If I worked in X I would need to 
either toggle between windows to scroll, or switch workspaces.
