Mapping PF Keys in Vi
This is my first post and right off the bat, I want to let you know that my experience in UNIX is 2 days only backed up with over 20 years of IT working. So, if this is a dumb question or too stupid, please bear with me.
I read somewhere on the web and also on these forums that you can map your PF keys to whatever you want to do. So, I decided to try it out and created an .exrc file with the following commands in there:
set showmode
:map #2 :wq!^M
:map #3 :q!^M
I want PF2 key to save changes to the current file and return to unix command prompt and PF3 key to exit without saving.
For some reason, this does not seem to be working. I don't get any error, but PF keys don't work as expected. When I press PF2 in command mode within Vi, it inserts a line above the line I was last at and types a letter Q. Likewise, it does the same thing to PF3 key but in stead types a letter R.
The command showmode works fine but not the PF keys. I would appreciate if someone can help me out here and tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance for the help.....

ypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from a NIS map
SYNOPSIS
ypmatch [-k] [-t] [-d domain] key [key...] mname

DESCRIPTION
ypmatch prints the values associated with one or more keys from the NIS's name services map specified by mname, which may be either a map
name or a map nickname.
Multiple keys can be specified; all keys will be searched for in the same map. The keys must be the same case and length. No pattern match-
ing is available. If a key is not matched, a diagnostic message is produced.

The following options are supported:
-k Before printing the value of a key, print the key itself, followed by a colon (:).
-t Inhibit map nickname translation.
-d domain Specify a domain other than the default domain.
-x Display the map nickname table. This lists the nicknames the command knows of, and indicates the map name associated with
each nickname.
OPERANDS
