This has been chosen since an original VT220 uses F1 through F5 for
control purposes.

Without the ``full VT220'' mode (i.e., the default mode), F9 through
F12 access the first four screens, Alt-F12 rotates.

In any configuration, Ctrl-Alt-F<n> access vt<n-1>.  Consistently with
the X server (and even Linux?).


Major revamp planned for the next pcvt release.  Things should be
better configurable instead of being hard-coded.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
