Mark:

Check out the documentation for define-key, i.e. C-h f define-key
For example, this is what 'up' should be (I think):
(define-key global-map "\^[OA" 'previous-line)    ;activate  up arrow key

help-gnu-emacs: I am a powerbook G4 OS X 10.2 user and am brand new to GNU Emacs.

To customize GNU Emacs, I have tried to create a .emacs file that is bug free without
success that works on the terminal.app .

What I would like to do at this time is two fold.

1.) map the arrow keys to their respective GNU Emacs commands.
1a.) preserve the C-x 1 window setting; when butchering the attempt at
1.) the window gets split into 2. I tried to get a macro inserted into
        .emacs below but it does not work

2.) map the delete-backward-char command to the "delete" key. I could not so
     I chose to map to the "pipe" key instead.

Anyway, below is the butchered .emacs file so far, which needs attention.

Please advise.

(fset 'kbdmac                  ; macro to correct the split window
   "\C-x1\C-m")


(define-key global-map "|" 'delete-backward-char)   ;delete key

(define-key global-map "ESC-O A" 'previous-line) ;activate up arrow key (define-key global-map "ESC-O B" 'next-line) ;activate down arrow key (define-key global-map "ESC-O C" 'forward-char) ;activate right arrow key (define-key global-map "ESC-O D" 'backward-char) ;activate left arrow key
