understanding keyboard.map

[Eugene Sevinian <sevinian@crdlx2.yerphi.am>]

Hi  all, 
as I underestand the basics of keyboard.map files format then
if I have the following string 
string  F10 =   "\033[12;2]"
then  pressing F10 should send escape sequences. However I am getting
only beep +12;2] instead of correct action (in this case switching
console). 

Hope that someone whould be able to help me. Any points
to detailed information concerning this subject ( I mean assigning
arbitrary function to different keys under non-x console) 
are welcomed.

TIA,

Eugene Sevinian
