You have my sympathy.

I submitted more information to a bug in ae. Because of its status and its
brokenness, I also bumped up the severity to important, so that others
will notice the problems with keys.
I did find a sort of workaround for the F3 and F4 function keys not
working (just use other keys :-) and I included a patch for /etc/ae.rc so
you can upload a new version and downgrade the severity (there are still
other problem reports about ae's keyhandling) as soon as you have time for
it. Unfortunately I can't because I'm not a maintainer.
What struck me at a glance is that ae uses termcap stuff in ae.rc instead
of terminfo and the the makefile mentions curses, while I tought ae is
supposed to use slang (at least slang's changelog suggests that.)

That's great Dale, KUTGW as you say.
Best of luck.
