RFTM. Look at the section on (you guessed it) SET KEY and SHOW KEY.  You can
remap any key with MSKERMIT to be anything you like.  I remap to make the
page up/down, home/end key send what Emacs wants them to send.  Put something
in the MSKERMIT.INI file like

set key \337 \22
set key \329 \{27}v
set key \335 \{27}>
set key \327 \{27}<
set key \339 \4
set key \338 {\27 }

and you're all set for Emacs.  Roll you own for you're own individual 
application or requirements.
