This didn't work but thanks. I found some info at this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hotkeys It tells you how to use showkey command to find out your keycodes. Then it links to this article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_Keyboard_Keys_in_Console
Basically you create a personal keymap just for the keys you are trying to enable and either use a keysym (the symbol for they key) or a command in quotes using the "string" command with a new-line \n to get the command executed. I did this using amixer commands, just for pcm control and it works. This was just a quick fix-up which I'll work on more later and this is a quick summary so read the information at the listed links if you are interested -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14 HCSB)
