rxvt shift f1 and f2 same as f11 f12

[Fred Kulack <kulack at us dot ibm dot com>]

I've been having a problem using rxvt where shift-f1 and shift-f2 end up
with the same scan codes as f11 and f12.
tn5250 to an iSeries really requires the full set of function and shifted 
function keys.

Did a bunch of searching and playing around with termcap and ilk.
Also found this but really not much luck otherwise.

I ended up making this change to my local rxvt version 2.7.10-4:
Though I didn't correctly build a non X windows version yet, it works for 
me.
I'm really a rookie with terminal stuff. and I'm guessing there's 
some historical reason why it might have only processed up to shift-F10 
instead 
of shift-F12.
Anyone have any insights?
