local-set-key and [f1]

[vose]

I can get function key f5 to do something useful:

(add-hook 'tex-mode-hook
   (function (lambda ()
             (local-set-key (quote [f5]) "\\begin{eqnarray*}"))))

but every attempt to get function key f1 to behave likewise fails.

Liberal sprinkling of things like

(global-set-key [f1] nil)

or

(global-unset-key [f1])

are no help.  What is the magic required??  Does anyone have an
example which works for f1 ??
