This is weird. There were some mapping problems. Did you compile the CVS 
version of the Hurd and of which date? The last problem was fixed on 2003-02-24 
(see console-client/ChangeLog to check if you have this version, it was checked 
in later IIRC). 

If you still have problems and are using the fixed version please check which 
keys are not working (all keys in the range F5-F12?). 

IIRC there are some problems with the debian package. If you are using the 
debain package, please have a look at the source package and if it was fixed in 
there.

You can also check if it is not a mc bug by testing those keys in another 
program, in emacs for example press "C-h k F6". The last problem I can possibly 
think of is that you didn't run "tic -x hurd.ti" (Or whatever the line was), 
but I think this is not the problem.

Thanks,
Marco
