    I cannot seem to get Emacs to recognize either the control or shift
    modifiers for any of the arrow or 6-pack keys.  Only the meta-key
    modifier seems to be recognized.  Is there some variable I need to set
    to make the use of control and shift modifiers of these keys possible?

I responded about the Control modifiers earlier.  Shift modifiers of
these keys are likewise simply ignored unless you are directly
communicating with a window system.  Also, unless you are directly
communicating with a window system, Shift-TAB is the same as TAB, C-A
is the same as C-a and so on.  Again, the only solution I know of is
to only use such bindings for window manager bindings and other
bindings that only make sense when directly communicating with a
window system.

Again, maybe other people know better solutions.
