Since the F keys are relative to the current TERM setting, you might
need to establish that and issue the appropriate codes, especially if
this is being done "terminal-free" and the TERM may be set to "dumb"
which probably doesn't have F-keys. Could you set TERM to a known value
and export it before executing the program, then issue the F-keys you
need?

Wierd question, but I am trying to write a quick script that will run an
application, update one screen of info and then exit. The problem is
that I need to pass the current date and use both the F1 and F4 keys in
doing the changes.
Can I pass variables into a here document in my script? and is it
possible to use an escape sequence to simulate the F1 and F4 keys?
Some DBA asked me if we could do this and now my brain is bound and
determined to figure out how.
