Just as a follow up, man tn5250 will show other keys that can be 
used for functions keys. 
Esc - is what I've used for F11
Esc = is what I've used for F12

That goes back to the original 5250 terminals that didn't actually 
have function keys at all, but used a cmd key that is where ESC is 
now, and then the keys 1 thru 0 and - and = for the 12 function 
keys, and then ESC Shift for the F13 thru F24.
