Unable to enter functions keys in .vimrc or any other file

Hi,    I am using vim 7.3 on Windows XP. I'm trying to map some function keys using 'map' command in the .vimrc When I enter the key sequence ctrl-v followed by some function key, say F1, vim enters the 4-character sequence <F1> instead of the actual control key F1. Btw, I'm able to use ctrl-v key for visual mode text selection. How do I enter function or any other control keys in .vimrc Thanks, Mahendra
