I tried this, and I get the same problem. However, when I type C-h k <home>,
it emacs tells me that

"<find> runs the command search-forward
 (search-forward STRING &optional BOUND NOERROR COUNT)
      which is an interactive built-in function.

Sounds like I am trying to override a function, which cannot be overriden.

By the way I am using emacs  version 21.3.1, and not in aposition to
upgrade.

Any more ideas?

Thanks
