You can use your profile.do to (temporarily) assign your function keys 
to the characters you want, e.g.:
global F6 = char(123)
global F7 = char(91)
global F8 = char(93)
global F9 = char(125)

Note that by default F7 is assigned to the character string "save" and 
F8 to the character string "use"
See: -h keyboard- (even better: [U] 10.2 F-keys)
