Hope it's a legal copy of SCO WP :)

Well, no, not really. You can define the WordPerfect functions to any
keys you want. If you do not like function keys or special key combinations,
then don't bother. Instead, use the pull down menus with <esc><=>. Or,
start up the X version and use point and click.

That is also incorrect. WordPerfect does indeed use termcap/terminfo.
Haven't you even gone into the wpterm program yet? You can say
print = <F14><F7> or the like, without having to specify what <F7> is
or how the terminal deals with it.

Use the wpterm program to define your own settings based on the Linux
console map. Also try the X version which is included with WP5.1 for Unix.
Also try the pull down menus with <esc><=> (you will probably like this).
