OK, so it sounds as if your F7 issue had nothing to do with Ethereal,
except to the extent that Ethereal was what you used to determine what
was sent over the network when you hit F7 on an IBM 3151 or IBM 3151
emulator (although the 3151 *itself* is, I think, an asynchronous
terminal, so presumably it was connected to something that was connected
to the network). I.e., you weren't typing F7 to Ethereal and expecting
Ethereal to do something.
Next time, if you're asking a question that doesn't have anything to do
with Ethereal on an Ethereal list, you should at least make it clear
what you're really asking, so we don't incorrectly conclude that you're
typing the F7 to Ethereal and want to make Ethereal do something with
the F7.

I wouldn't - "Chr(27)" sounds as if it's BASIC (Visual Basic?), and I
don't know enough about BASIC (much less Visual Basic) to say why the 27
(which *is* an ESC character) isn't getting sent.
If you're trying to write BASIC programs to send particular sequences
over, for example, a Telnet connection, you'd probably be best advised
to ask in some mailing list, newsgroup, Web bulletin board, etc. that
deals with BASIC, or ask the supplier of your BASIC interpreter/compiler
(e.g., Microsoft, if it's Visual Basic).
