Back in my old DOS bigot days I had PF keys on my machine remapped to
text strings using the PROMPT command with ANSI.SYS loaded. You could
also append "enter" so a key became a command.
like "prompt $e[0;66;"dir /w/p";13p" would map the F8 key to type "dir
/w/p <enter>"
That does not seem to be an option in Windows at least since Windows
stopped just being a shell over DOS.
Am I missing something?

You need a macro tool, like AutoHotkey. Here is a discussion between
users on assigning keystrokes to a F key:

https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=27589
https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/92083-remapping-f-keys-help/

They have their own peer forums to get help, but there's a learning
curve to AutoHotkey.

Another choice is AutoIt. In addition, some ancilliary software
supplied with programmable mice (with more than 3 buttons) let you
define macros, but that's using button combos of the mouse, not with
remapping Fn keys.

OK Thanks. I was just being sure I didn't miss a windows tool. I will
give autohotkey a shot.

Two problems...

[1] Windows since NT 3.x up to early builds of Windows 10, do not support
ANSI escape sequence. Known third party softwares which can run in Windows 7
are: ANSICON, ConEmu, ConsoleZ, and Take Command Console (or TCC; formerly
4NT).

[2] None of the above mentioned softwares supports the ANSI escape sequence
for the keyboard key reassignment. They all have different set of escape
sequence code support. None of them supports the complete set.

So only other solutions which without using ANSI escape sequence, can be
used. e.g. a keyboard macro tool like as already mentioned: AutoHotkey.

Here's another recommendation for AutoHotkey. I like it a lot.
