interesting. Function keys send sequences of characters. There's an old 
question: how do I tell if you typed the individual characters for the 
key, or you hit the key? 

curses has a test for distinguishing a function key (e.g. up 
arrow) from the characters typed individually, which boils down to 'what's 
the inter-character delay'. If the delay is small, then it's the function 
key, else it's the human typing. 

Wonder if that test is failing somehow ...
