Try something like:

nmap <F5> <Esc>:read !pwd<CR>
imap <F5> <Esc>:read !pwd<CR>

The two lines are the same except nmap changes the key for
"normal" mode, and imap changes it for "insert" mode.

I have found that the online documentation from ":help" is
actually pretty thorough, but I'm sure there are some good
sites out there.  (I'm really more of an emacs fan...)
