Then the application will hopefully provide another, though probably
less convenient way to perform the functionality that it provides
through F1.  The Rationale of
<http://forth-standard.org/standard/facility/EKEYtoFKEY> says:

Then you convert it, probably using >NUMBER in the converting code.

If you think we need additional conversion words, go ahead and propose
them.
