Shift key to implement PF13 - PF24

When deploying on UNIX -platform the Function Keys F13-F24 do not work in the on-line screen on UNIX ie by pressing shift-F13,shift-F24.

As advised by RBD development who have input other shortcut keys to implement these functions ie Press Ctrl+S, then the relating function key to get to such as PF13 - PF24 and use Ctrl+A then F1-F3 to get such as PA1-PA3. This works fine in the interim.

    I am experiencing the same problem in the Host Emulator (PCOMM lite) in IDz for PF20-24.

    We agree that it woudl be better for the end user if we can get consistent function key implementation on all platforms. This change is a candidate for implementation in the next release.
