I user Xquartz, am on 10.10.5, use Xterm, and I can get te´he various 
functions by using fn+key, but of course I do have an old Apple USB 
keyboard with a numeric keyboard at the right end and everything.
Oh, and I also need to make sure I have not bount the F<n> keys to 
anything particular in OSX. If you get into Exposé, it is because you 
have the key bound to that. Remove that binding in settings, and you'll 
get F10 instead.
