Hex code? OK... using xev, we find (on my keyboard at least, yours
may differ) that F1 is keycode 67. Using xmodmap, we can say:

	keycode 67 = F1 F13

Now when we press Shift-F1, we simulate someone pressing an F13 key.
Checking the terminfo map for rxvt, we see that F13 is mapped (via
the kf13 capability) to the escape sequence "\E[25~". Now a genuine
VT100 didn't have 13 function keys, so we look for the next closest,
a VT220. "infocmp vt220" shows that it uses the same escape sequence
for F13 that rxvt does, so no further remapping is necessary.
