Readline will not bind some function keys in xterm

[Victor Torrico <vtorrico@cfw.com>]

Hello All,

Am running all the latest hamm packages.

All twelve function keys bind properly when using the console or when in X using
rxvt.  Only F5 through F12 will bind when in X using an xterm.  F1 through F4
just give a beep when pressed.  Am using terminfo xterm-xf86-v33.  Have tried
other terminfos with the same result.  Don't know if this is a problem in
readline, ncurses terminfo stuff, xterm or somewhere else.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
