Usage: ascii_functionkeys [options] 
 
	This script will remap the Shift-Functionkeys to special ASCII
	characters:

		Shift-F1  - `
		Shift-F2  - a
		Shift-F3  - h
		Shift-F4  - i
		Shift-F5  - k
		Shift-F6  - j
		Shift-F7  - o
		Shift-F8  - v
		Shift-F9  - |
		Shift-F10 - {
		Shift-F11 - _
		Shift-F12 - 5

	These characters can be used in drawing notes and for creating mapkeys.

	options:	-h =>	this help screen 
			-r =>	reset the function keys to the default value
			-c =>	show current configuration.

	This script assumes you have 12 functionkeys available.

	Uses the UNIX command /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap.
	xmodmap -pke shows your current configuration.
	
	NOTE 1: EXPAND YOUR FUNCTIONKEY MAPKEYS
	
	After you have set the Shift-Function keys to these special ASCII
	characters, you can also create mapkeys for the Shift-Functionkeys.
	Example: the following mapkey for Shift-F1 will perform a shade:
	
		mapkey ` #view;#cosmetic;#shade;#display

	NOTE 2:	Beware for other applications that use these
		Shift-Functionkeys might get confused.
