I am trying to set up a keymap for Gnu Emaps using the .emacs file. I am using
emacs 18.59 on a DEC Ultrix workstation. I am using Telnet to emulate a vt100
terminal.

I wish to map the Ctrl left and right arrow key combinations (like in the
Wordstar-type editors such as the Borland Turbo IDE) into forward-word and 
backward-word respectively.

I tried using global-set-key:

(global-set-key "\C-]" 'forward-word)

(the above works for the Ctrl-] combo, but when I enter the escape seq for 
rightarrow instead of ], emacs does't like it!

Any suggestions gratefully received, either to this newsgroup or via e_mail to

KINSELLAJ@UL.IE

Thanks
