It is better to leave the ansi definition as it is and create your own terminal definition

"infocmp ansi"

will produce output which looks like something like this:

Code:
ansi|generic ansi standard terminal,
        am, xon,
        cols#80, lines#24,
        bel=^G, blink=\E[5m, bold=\E[1m, cbt=\E[Z,
        clear=\E[H\E[J, cr=\r, cub=\E[%p1%dD, cub1=\b,
        cud=\E[%p1%dB, cud1=\n, cuf=\E[%p1%dC, cuf1=\E[C,
        cup=\E[%i%p1%d;%p2%dH, cuu=\E[%p1%dA, cuu1=\E[A,
        dch1=\E[P, dl=\E[%p1%dM, dl1=\E[M, ed=\E[J, el=\E[K,
        home=\E[H, hpa=\E[%p1%{1}%+%dG, ht=\t, hts=\EH,
        ich=\E[%p1%d@, ich1=\E[@, il=\E[%p1%dL, il1=\E[L,
        ind=\n, invis=\E[8m, kbs=\b, kcub1=\E[D, kcud1=\E[B,
        kcuf1=\E[C, kcuu1=\E[A, khome=\E[H,
        rep=%p1%c\E[%p2%{1}%-%db, rev=\E[7m, rmso=\E[m,
        rmul=\E[m,
        sgr=\E[%?%p1%t7;%;%?%p2%t4;%;%?%p3%t7;%;%?%p4%t5;%;%?%p6%t1;%;m,
        sgr0=\E[0m, smso=\E[7m, smul=\E[4m, tbc=\E[3g,
        vpa=\E[%p1%{1}%+%dd,

Copy this into a file and change the first line
E.g.

myansi|my ansi terminal,

and the function key definitions
kf0=...., kf1=......, kf2=.......

and you get something like this:

Code:
myansi|my ansi terminal,
        am, xon,
        cols#80, lines#24,
        bel=^G, blink=\E[5m, bold=\E[1m, cbt=\E[Z,
        clear=\E[H\E[J, cr=\r, cub=\E[%p1%dD, cub1=\b,
        cud=\E[%p1%dB, cud1=\n, cuf=\E[%p1%dC, cuf1=\E[C,
        cup=\E[%i%p1%d;%p2%dH, cuu=\E[%p1%dA, cuu1=\E[A,
        dch1=\E[P, dl=\E[%p1%dM, dl1=\E[M, ed=\E[J, el=\E[K,
        home=\E[H, hpa=\E[%p1%{1}%+%dG, ht=\t, hts=\EH,
        ich=\E[%p1%d@, ich1=\E[@, il=\E[%p1%dL, il1=\E[L,
        ind=\n, invis=\E[8m, kbs=\b, kcub1=\E[D, kcud1=\E[B,
        kcuf1=\E[C, kcuu1=\E[A, khome=\E[H,
        rep=%p1%c\E[%p2%{1}%-%db, rev=\E[7m, rmso=\E[m,
        rmul=\E[m,
        sgr=\E[%?%p1%t7;%;%?%p2%t4;%;%?%p3%t7;%;%?%p4%t5;%;%?%p6%t1;%;m,
        sgr0=\E[0m, smso=\E[7m, smul=\E[4m, tbc=\E[3g,
        vpa=\E[%p1%{1}%+%dd,
        kf0=...., kf1=......, kf2=.......


so:

Code:
infocmp ansi > file          (or untic ansi > file)
vi file                            (make changes as mentioned above)
tic file

to get the pf1, pf2, pf3, definitions:

infocmp gist > file2 (or untic gist > file2)

After that you set your TERM variable to "myansi"

This might work if none of they keys conflict. Always hard to define a terminal by its capabalities.

Before you try all of this you might wanna try TERM=vt220
