OT: how to tell when i've hit a Fn key?

[Gary Kline]

I've got a 103-key keyboard.  most  of them produce the right WAV
file.  i was having some trouble with the arrow key, but think i've
found a resolution.  next are the Function key, F1 to F12. 

anybody on-list familiar with curses and can help me  with this?
right now, most of the function keys output 4 clicks [!].  

thanks in advance,

gary
