binding function keys

[Robert Bram]

Hi All,

I am using screen on
Windows XP SP2
Cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34)
PuttyGyg

I saw this in "man screen"

       Function key 0        k0          stuff \033[10~
       Function key 1        k1          stuff \033OP
       Function key 2        k2          stuff \033OQ
       Function key 3        k3          stuff \033OR
       Function key 4        k4          stuff \033OS
       Function key 5        k5          stuff \033[15~
       Function key 6        k6          stuff \033[17~
       Function key 7        k7          stuff \033[18~
       Function key 8        k8          stuff \033[19~
       Function key 9        k9          stuff \033[20~
       Function key 10       k;          stuff \033[21~
       Function key 11       F1          stuff \033[23~
       Function key 12       F2          stuff \033[24~

First question: what do these do? I didn't understand "stuff" from the man page.

Second question: can I remove those bindings if I want? I have some
bindings in VIM for the function keys that I am rather stuck on and
would like to keep.

Thanks for any assistance!

Rob
