Please remind me what you're talking about. It sounds to me like two 
different things:

1) To use Alt-Fn to jump to a certain session of PuTTY. Do you mean in 
multiple sessions of one PuTTY connected to 'screen'? Or do you mean 
between multiple independent PuTTY sessions.

2) Assigning some character sequence to be sent to the host when the user 
hits Alt-S, for instance. Anzio allows this (although I don't know what 
YaST wants to receive to initiate a search).
