Emacs 21.1.
In X-windows (running on GNU/Linux) I start emacs with "emacs -nw". If I
type up and [C-up], followed by C-h l `view-lossage', I see this:
up produces ESC O A
[C-up] produces ESC [ 2 4 ~
However, my Emacs isn't set up to handle the [C-up] event-sequence. It
would seem I need to enhance my function-key-map somehow.
Searching the info pages brought me to the page "Terminal Specific" in
the Elisp manual. Checking the environment variable TERM brought me to
the initalisation file ...../lisp/term/xterm.el. In this file, only a
small number (21) of function keys are defined, none of them with
modifiers (i.e. C- M- S- ....).
Two questions:
Where on X is the file which defines the relevant keytable, and what's
the name of the function in X which loads such a table (analogues of
/etc/default.keytab and loadkeys for the Linux console)?
Is there a better file already in existence than the above xterm.el, one
that copes with _all_ keys with _all_ combinations of modifiers?
Thanks in advance!

Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter
(like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
