Thanks very much -- the shift keys now work, including this one that I
added:

(global-set-key (kbd "<S-up>") 'kill-line)

But (global-set-key (kbd "<delete>") 'kill-line) still doesn't work -
all I get is a forward character delete (I'm running Emacs 22.1 on Mac
OS X)

Also, how would I bind Shift-Up Shift-Up to kill-paragraph (and Del-
Del if I can get Del working)? (global-set-key (kbd "<S-up><S-up>")
'kill-paragraph) doesn't do the job.

Thanks very much.
