Look in the $II_SYSTEM/ingres/files directory. There are a bunch of
.map files there.  Depending on the terminal type you use (I'll guess
vt200), you will want to edit the appropriate .map file, probably
vt220.map.  To find out for sure, resolve the map file from the termcap
file located in the same directory:

/home/ingres/files: echo $TERM_INGRES
vt100f
/home/ingres/files: grep "vt100f|" termcap
dB|vt100f|vt-100f|vt100 with 4.0 function key support:\
/home/ingres/files:o

Then edit termcap and find the vt100f entry.  Look for the mf=
entry (that's mapping file entry).  It will say something like:

dB|vt100f|vt-100f|vt100 with 4.0 function key support:\
        :mf=vt100f.map:\

Now you know the mapping file to look for: vt100f.map

Look at it.  It will look something like:
/home/ingres/files: more vt100f.map
/* UNIX FRS mapping file for VT100 with Function Keys */

/* Menu Key */
        menu = pf1 (PF1)

This is what you have to change.

There.  Now wasn't that obvious?  Good luck,
