Odd character sequence for text based program.

[Bill Purcell <william@whpiv.net>]

All,

I am using a text based program through a ssh session that is
installed on a RHEL server.  The program instructions require that you
use Attachmate's Reflection terminal emulator
(http://www.attachmate.com/). The only reason I can think of for this
is because Reflection allows you to map key sequences to a function
key.  In the set up of the program there are instructions to map F8 to
a series of three characters ESC-[-8.  I'm not sure if this is
supposed to be an escape sequence or if it is actually literally those
three characters.  At any rate, how do I do something similar in gnome
terminal, xterm, or another terminal emulator that I can install on my
Ubuntu 9.04 desktop? xmodmap?

I'm sure there was some misuse of terminology here but I hope I got my
point across. 

Thanks in advance,

Bill
