The Question is: How do I get VMS to understand a F10 key? The Answer is :
You will want to indicate the type of terminal or terminal emulator,
the setting of the terminal or terminal emulator, what you are
specifically trying to do, and what error(s) you are seeing (if any).
OpenVMS -- and specifically various components such as the terminal
driver and DCL -- already understands the sequence of characters that
are sent by the F10 key on the typical terminal or terminal emulator.
Because both the terminal driver is involved, you may need to disable
line editing (SET TERMINAL/NOLINE_EDIT) processing.
Typical function key assignments:
F1-F5 - Often terminal-local functions
F6-F10 - OpenVMS line-editing functions
Currently assigned: F6 Interrupt, F10 Exit
F11-F14 - OpenVMS line-editing functions, applications use these
for primary function keys outside of the editing keypad
F15-F16 - Help and Do (Initiate Function) respectively
F17-F20 - Reserved for user-defined functions
Typical keyboard layout:

You may or may not be able to see any of the extended characters (from
the above table) here on the Ask The Wizard page, depending on how
successful the particular character translations involved have been.
